pulse motor and transistor problems

By an oscilloscope or frequency counter

ne 555 wil never go to 0 volt saturation.
take an dvm . aoutput to groeund . if voltage is over 0,55 volt = the transistor will conduct alltime.

If from NE555 voms out at lowes polt 0,5-1,2 volt , then use an 1n914 /41440 (4007) in serie from transitors-base to ic ( also this current limiting resistor aswell the rbe (that setfan talked about ist)

what do you mean by  taken a dvm

[jasonspinmaster]

when i place the black probe on negative off the battery and the red one before entering 555 timer, on pin 2 and i get a reading off 0.12.
when i place the red probe on to the output off the 555 timer , after the 200ohms 1 wattresistor i get 9.45 volts

someting wrong in your 555 circuit, pin 6 can connect to 12V?
