Check out the strauch website (otto strauch drum carders) he used to have a link to directions to motorize a carder. Seriously, I am fairly handy with tools but decided to have him do the upgrade. I do have a good carder. I have a friend whose husband is VERY handy and he somehow did it from an old washing machine motor. She has a not so good carder and did not do fine things like silk.
Love that you raise silkworms...want to tell more? good luck
