If I get them going pretty good by spinning with my finger they keep going for probably 10 plus rotations. Maybe it's worth mentioning that I'm using metal bushings and not bearing bushings. With the bevel there is very little play, but it does move slightly. Which is correct as far as I know.
So once my new motor gets here I think il re shim again ( from the bevel just to be sure) and pop the motor in. I'm pretty confident in the shim job and I'm thinking the motor is the problem.

shimming from the bevel gives drastically different results as to where you end up putting your shims. don't even bother with the new motor, just give the new school way a try and see what what happens.
