Motor testing

[Lancealot]

Hi can anyone advise if its ok to test a C5 motor directly connected to a 12v leisure battery. ie red wire to + terminal and black wire to - terminal. I presume I can ignore the other wires.

Yes no problem - be careful you'll get a bit of a kick

Hi, thanks for that it looks like I have a dead motor, this C5 I got is looking like a bag of nails but will get there. Can you advise what the resistance between the + & - should be. thanks

might be worth removing and refitting the brushes, if it's been laid up then possibly they are stuck in the holders.

Hi thanks for the feedback, gave the motor a few rubber mallot bangs and its released it's self.
