Update
It seems Matt didn't sieze my motor, he siezed the prop shaft!
So, once i've sorted it out, complete with greater clearences, and dried n cleaned it all, shoved it back together, I'll be out for another go

mine is new, and is a brass tube (about 10mm diameter) with copper inserts in each end which are the (plain) bearings, when I bought it, it was rather tight, so i emery'd the shaft until it span free & easy, then loaded it with grease.
The shaft now has a copper insert stuck on it, so i'll be sorting it all out, and giving it a little more running clearance, and mebbe some graphite grease this time.
She lives to fight another day!

Maybe the grease was to thick. As I said before I went for synthetic bike chain oil as its high temp, high pressure, water proof and designed to cling to (not fly off) a chain/sprocket at high rpms meaning hopefully it shouldnt just run out the end of the shaft when its going.
