IF you have a watt meter even better. a 120 setup should draw around 22-24 amps, though it will depend on the motor winding and magnet strength as well as your gearset ratio.
Which method did you use to shim your gears? Did you shim the pinion to bevel first or did you start from another method?

i have been only shooting it outside of the gun i have been changing things for 3 days now i can figure it out the only thing i think it could be is arcing some where or the batteries but i doubt it is the batteries because i use them a lot in my other gun and never get hot
what do i set the watt meter on ? gear set are 100:200 or 20:1 same thing i think. if i am wrong please correct me . shimmed perfect i put the motor in and let the gear spin with no spring and it still gets hot not as fast but gets hot.
the shimming i did was bevel then spur then sector i take out the bevel after i have that done and then spur i start with no shim then the sector then i shim the spur very little on under and same for the sector . when they are good and spinning freely i put bevel in and shim it more or less if needed i put the box together . install motor without spring make sure i get good sling and no noises . and then i install the piston spring and put it together . . i think i have to find out where it may be touching the wires that is . or the motor could be touching the metal who knows but tomorrow is the last day till i just take it in tuesday to the tech and see why and what he can do he is really good . so we will see
