SOLD
I pulled this one out of a used Miss Geico 29. Opened it up because I couldn't turn the shaft by hand. Thought the bearings were bad, but I found a little crud growing on that exposed area of the rotor due to the salty Florida water it was run in. Cleaned it off and it spun freely, but I ordered new ceramic bearings for it anyway. They came in yesterday. I oiled them, easily pressed them in and re-CA-glued (as they are from the factory). Front cover is re-CA-glued (as it comes from the factory). Ran the motor for 5+ minutes at 1/4 throttle, unloaded, as per bearing manufacturer's suggested break-in procedure. And I also noticed what looked like corrosion under one of the bullet connectors so I cut the pink heat shrink off each one and checked (they were clean). Now there is black heat shrink in place of the OEM pink stuff.
$40 shipped in the states.
Thanks,
Michael P.
