Here's how I'd do it ... holders of EE degrees correct me if I'm wrong:
Connect your generating motor to your target motor. Turn the generating
motor 100 revolutions. Count the number of revolutions in the target motor.
The number you get is your efficiency (aside from some miniscule loss in the
wires themselves and so forth).
Take care.
