It would run faster until it smoked, if it was not rated for the higher voltage
Kurt,
An observed fact but why does it smoke? Because the current increases so much that the motor windings can no longer handle it - they glow red and insulation is burned off. Smoking the motor.

Do you now agree with higher voltage comes higher current?
