I managed to get all the bits and pieces assembled for a test run. Here is a short video of the initial test run.
It made me feel a bit uncoordinated...
I also made up a base to mount it on. Now it is time to disassemble it for final fit and finish.
UPDATE:
I cleaned everything up, rounded off the square corners and reassembled the motor.
I'm happy enough with the way it looks but it needs a heavier flywheel to smooth out the way it runs.
The 3 inch aluminum flywheel just doesn't have enough inertia to make it run smoothly.
I may just start over and build a second motor using steel instead of aluminum as a flywheel.
