Re: Info Request LeJay Electrol

[DAN ANDERSON]

Do either of the wires have any raised lines or embossing on them? Anything that makes one wire different from the other? I think the wire with anything raised or lines on it will be positive wire? Be glad for anyone else to disagree here. If it is that old you might try 6 volts first. I don’t think that would hurt anything. Does it seem to have a bushes cover? You can remove that and see how the bushes look. A starter/generator/alternator place can still provide you with a stick that will clean the commutator while you spin the motor. Hope some of this helps! I have been wanting to pull the trigger on a LeJay Electrol for awhile now, but haven’t done it yet.

I did pick up a RO NO MO. Now I figure you guys are going to think I’m kidding you, but this thing is out of GA and that name is cast into the skeg of the motor. The motor goes underwater and it just has a bent steering shaft with an on/off switch. Very rudimentary. Patent was applied for, but never received from the research I have tried to do. I have never seen or heard of one or found anyone who has seen or heard of one? Try to get a pic out tomorrow.
