Kevin, could you clarify what you meant here please? When you say "25% speed", did you mean "the voltage that produces 25% of the rated 12 volt no load speed" ?
In other words, adjust the PWM to the unloaded FP to produce a speed of 25% of the rated 12V no-load speed, then - while keeping the same PWM - add load to stall the motor; and it is OK ?
