Thanks for the clarification.
I tried that setup but no power got through. I'm guessing that the multimeter is too light - its three DCA settings are 2ma, 20mA, and 200mA. Instead, I just hooked the motor directly to the battery and let it run for almost two hours.
You've probably got to change the position of the red lead on your multimeter. If you look on your multimeter, it probably has 3 red ports and 1 black port. If you take a pic of it and post it here, I'll show you what I mean =)
