Hi Mike
Good news, The wheel has already been invented. Go up to the search menu and search on Motorized Computor or Flyingaman and a topic from back in Aug 2003 will come up. That will show you how to do it.
Good luck Craig

I experemented with motors and stuff, and got it to work. I used a can-opener motor and gear box. It goes a little fast, but it is still cool. The original plan was to use a cordless screwdriver, but I couldent find a power suply for it except fot a battery, but that woulden't do, so it was off to The Salvation Army and picked up a electric can opender. The perfect thing, low speeed-High torque, and only $2.

I sell a kit but yall might think it is high priced...the kit includes a rebuilt computer(very nice), repro nozzel with switch built in, motor with 12v power supply built on the mounting plate ..unit ready to install in your pump for $400.00
the reason include rebuilt computers with my kit is so they will turn free and you wont have any problems..we have been putting these on our pumps for about 2 years

We did one and used a 12volt car windshield wiper motor and an old electric train transformer for the power. You can set the speed of the computer by varying the transformer throttle. we ran the wire in the hose and put a micro switch on the nozzle. Fun to hear the bell ring with each gallon.

I used the cordless screwdriver, and a 16v 900mA wall converter, and used a volume conrol off a drive-in speaker to regulate the speed since the driver was only 2.4v. It was running well untill I looked down at the volume control and smoke was comming out of it, and when I reached down to rip the wires off, I got a bad burn on the burning unit. After that, I had enough of the low-voltage stuff and then started tinking about 120v motors.
