French toy impulse motor water pump
« on: December 20, 2023, 04:27:53 pm »
Just finished working on this little toy motor from France:

Although the motor without pump will run with less power, a 6V 5 amp battery is required to power the pump. Don't know the maker but possibly Radiguet.

Thanks Bruce. Functional now, but not when I got it. Here's the "before" photo.
