Fixing a flapper for £7.75


Recommended Posts

Last month I had my flapper on a long pole so it was over the top of some tall peas, unfortunately with the ground being rock hard and despite me jamming it in a slot it went over.

By the time I got to it the motor was red hot and ******!!

Anyway, a quick check with my vernier caliper and a couple of taps on the laptop the right motor popped up!

I had thought about calling the company I bought it from but it would be the same motor plus their mark up!

While I was on the bay I found a second motor with 100rpm extra so I have one on order and might have the only 400 rpm flapper in Essex lol

Dead easy fix only a 5 mim swap time + soldering the tabs….
