How is it that you turn the motor on, and how long does it usually run for?

To turn this motor on you should apply 3v DC voltage to it's wires. If you change polarity of this voltage, motor will change direction of rotation. I used this motor to try funny bug made from toothbrush and used just coin battery CR2032. I never tried this motor for a long time and can not say how long it will last.

In order to turn the motor on you hook the wires (positive and negative) to a power source. We are unsure of how long it runs for.

we used it for a science project. we hooked it direct to a battery and it ran till the battery died. hope this helped

this is just the motor. you have to connect it to a circuit with a battery and a switch. you can do it by welding wire to the motor and then connecting the wire as usual. It will run as long as the battery lasts or until switched off.

I tried 15+ minutes, usually 2 AA or 2 AAA batteries. Not sure polarity matters, it just reverses rotation direction. I tried 5V but it makes it really hot.

You must select a time for it to start. So you turn it on, push the other time button, and it will begin to run.

Maybe 30 min, but you can bigger batteries. Just make sure its safe for the motor

When you press the power button only it will run continuously for about 7 hours. There is a 2nd button which sets it to run for 10 minutes then off for 20 minutes, this will continue for about 21 hours.

What do you mean "how long does it work for?" It's not battery powered. It runs off the car cigarette lighter. It runs for as long as you have the key in the ignition allowing power to the cigarette lighter. If you mean like how reliable is it? Well... that I don't know. I've only had mine for a week or two. It says it has a 1 year warranty so I expect it to last at least that long.

Most of the time I crank the engine in order to put less ware and tear on my battery. But I have used it without turning the engine on. The instructions, if I recollect, advise turning the engine on. It has been very, very cold in my part of the country lately so I turn the engine over to inflate my bike tires. Hope the answer helps you.

I have not noticed a loud motor. However, my son only turns it on every so often.

Not much at all. Mine starts on the second pull 95% of the time. I've never had a problem with mine.

You pull a cord to start it. It is hard for my 10 yr old grandson to start so my husband has to start it for him.

At full throttle, just under 10 mins. But normal use like turning, cruising, and short full speed runs.... it can last you about 20 mins.

I have never turned mine in for longer than 6 mins at a time. The motor on these things seems awfully small for extended use.

You turn it on and then submerge it. You shouldn't leave it running long out of water but a moment is fine. Turning it on seals the motor and battery compartment. This is a very useful tool and I highly recommend it.

I have started mine more than 25 times and it has started by the 3rd pull all but one time, I pulled the cord a dozen or so times and realized that I had the run switch in the off position. Other than that mine runs perfect all the time. Iove this thing.

It runs all the time after you turn it on. I have mine plugged into the amp, so when the amp is turned on so is the fan.

Mine lasted one week. I suspect the motor is too small for the task. Nancy Dancu

You can choose to have it on continuously (until shut the power off) OR you can choose to have it run for 10 (?) seconds and then off for 10 (?) seconds (until you shut the power off). I wish you could set it to run for 20 minutes, off for 40, back on, etc. or to run for a period of time and then just shut off, but it doesn't work like that.

You can turn it on so it stays on as long as you want That's what I usually do - on when I go to bed and then off in the morning when I wake up. It really is a great sound machine.
