What I am having trouble with is
keeping the motor running. After a minute or so the motor quits, when I
disconnect the motor and wait a minute or so and re-connect it, it runs
again for another 15 seconds.


Is it getting hot? How does it run with no load?


No, all three motors run cool. It runs fine with no load if hooked
directly to the ac adapter. When hooked through the wire leads coming
off the control board it slows down and stops whether it is no load or
load.


Maybe that control board is defective. Try connecting an LED in place
of the motor,
