All,

So there I was, head in hand wondering aloud, â??How is this effing thing still 
so slowâ???

While doing the prep work to replace a bad wiper wheel assembly, I decided to 
address my non-functioning heater, you know, since I was under the dash and all.
After getting the heater on the bench, I discovered the problem was one of the 
very small bolts that hold the motor into the top sheet of the heater body had 
come free, and the motor was tilted, mechanically binding.  So, I pulled the 
motor, wired directly to the carâ??s battery and it spun fine!

However, it produced about as much wind as an old lady blowing on my knees.
So today, I tore it down, cleaned it up, polished the surfaces, and 
re-insulated the internal wires.
Put it all back together, hooked it to the battery at it spins.. THE SAME LOW 
SPEED!!
So all that reconditioning had zero effect.

Desperate for advice, I am wondering if hooking it directly to the car battery 
might be too much power?
I mean, I would expect that raw energy to make the damned thing take flight or 
something, with zero resistance in the line.

Any sage advice?



Cheers,
