fixed! So seeing as the motor was getting 12v when it should be the fault lay with the motor. One bolt to get it out of the motor housing and then two bolts to get the back of the motor off to remove the core.

Negative brush was stuck. Didnt have anything to hand so sprayed some cif on and it and its now free and fixed! Motor back together was a bit more of a mission. The motor shroud is also eccentric so you simply rotate the motor in the housing to tension the drive belt. took a few attempts to get it tensioned correctly so it didnt slip.

Managed a 4 mile trip to the local and station and back meeting people who waved or wanted a go. No rides for you, its mine!

Next day took it out and did some corners in it... one rather too enthusiastically which resulted in a mad drift on 2 wheels before the tyre came off and blew the original 1985 inner tube! New inner tubes and schwalbe big apple tyres ordered all round. Dash is also still beeping and saying that the battery is running out before saying its fully charged. Suspected op amp failure so ill have to look at replacing that.

Next thing will to be fit those inner tube and tyres, give it a big clean, tidy up the electrics, fix the horn, replace the boot lock, cut new vinyl for it and refit all the little extras i took off to stop them being lost when it was on the trailer.
