    yes,thats what i'm calling the clutch,right where the armature magnet and propeller "catch" together.Post your findings as i might do the same so i can use on timers.But i'll see if you screw yours up first,lol.jk

    Ok well I confirmed the pumps are reversing. Fusing the 2 pieces didn't really help,neither did making the prop inable to slide foward and backward on the shaft.


    Time to brainstorm

    I didnt read the whole post, but i read somewhere people used some airline tubing to keep the propeller in one spot for the korillas, may work on the MJ
