1. remove engine
2. wire up to battery what size battery did u use and how many?

I used a 2 AA battery pack and test leads. (alligator clips) to connect the red to red and black to black. The test leads will allow you to attach to the engine on the endbell (plastic part of motor), where the contacts are soldered on.

3. Let it run in water

let it run for a while- untill the sound changes. It could take 30 sec, or half an hour. Just leave it in there, not touching anything untill the motor makes less whiney motor noise. It will sound smoother and deeper when you need to take it out.

4. take out spray with wd40 how much did u spray it?

Spray the motor untill wd 40 is coming out the other side. Use the red straw thing and press it against the hole on the motor case opposite the endbell. Spray untill it fills up and starts running out the bottom. It's a cleaner- use a lot of it.

5. spray again and add oil

Wipe it off, because if it's dripping it'll get dirty.

Run the motor again for a few minutes before you:

6. reinstall motor is the motor supposed to be completely dry from wd-40 when doing this?

Take your time Patience will be rewarded.
