I tried the LeJay again today, with a fully charged battery.
Spins over great now, but the rheostat doesn’t seem to
regulate the rpms very good, but hey, it’s probably 80
years old.
I tapped a wood dowel into the motor where the driveshaft would
hook up, just to see some action.
A “one” inch piece of electrical conduit fits in the motor base perfect
as a “holder” to paint the motor.
Once I get the new grommets, I’ll have to pull the bottom of the motor
back off and route the wires properly.
Got the rest of the parts cleaned and painted up today.

Maybe it will debut on the boat this summer, then go back on the rack
for a few years!
