Status: offline 		Thanks that helps a lot. Do you happen to know anything else about it? I've been trying to look it up on google but can't find anything at all. The motor doesn't have any markings except for a 5 printed on it. Other than that I have ran it before and seems to be a high high performance motor. I am also possibly looking to get rid of it if i can't get it to run right but for now any other information is well appreciated. Also does anybody possibly know if there is a direct replacement for it in like an O.S or even what size it is?
Thanks again
