Maybe a compensation plan that pays them only for their direct contributions (per hour, per job, etc.) would take care of the laziness/slacking-off problem.
The problem is he can't effectively go backwards. This guy is not going to want to go from 25% to $25 an hour. (or $1500/ 60 hour work week)
OP instead (only my opinion) you should find someone who will work hourly for $18-20, and knows what they are doing, or is at least trainable. It sounds to me like you have enough work to take on 2 guys. If your current guy is working 5 solid 8 hour days that's all he's gonna want to do. If you can get him to take an hourly wage without any sour pusses you can then afford to get someone else part time with the same payroll expense.
I know it seems like you're giving away 1/4 of your business right now, but he doesn't seem like he wants to be a business man to me. It sounds more like he just wants a job.

I really wish I could help you out, but you are way too far from where I am.
I think you should simply sit down with that person and put your cards on the table. This to me feels like a lack of communication and you seems to have a different visions of things than that person does.
I would try to find a way to make it work by making him understand that he needs to put equal efforts if this is going to work. Otherwise negotiate a different payment plan that will accomodate his desires to work less hours and find a second helper to pick up the slack.
Tough situation, I might be wrong, but it feels to me you did not take the time to talk about what would be expected of him when you offered him the deal for 25%.
From past experience, I can tell you it is almost impossible to find people who will put the efforts you are willing to put in. People in general try to work as little as possible for as much money as they can. People willing to work as hard as they can are the exception. Finding someone like that is not easy so that is why I would never go to a % deal without a tie to amount of work done.
