Re: Please help me I'm new!!

Thanks every one for the replys and emails. I have the motor apart
now and the motor actually works fine. The gears are locked up. I'm
in the process of filing the gear down so it will turn, it seems to
be too tight in the metal casing. I imagine extreme heat or some
other freak of nature caused this. I will update when I've solved
the problem. Thanks again.
