[Tigers] Tiger blower motor

	I forget the exact details but my blower motor was turning very
slowly and making much noise.  The motor was drawing over 3 amps to make it
turn; after I cleaned and lubed everything the motor was turning fast and
drawing less then an amp.
I think it was drawing around .1 amp but memory fails at that detail.  This
is just a way to judge the condition of the blower motor and bearings.

	It would be interesting to know what a new motor draws when running.

Ever since the last overhaul and I insulated the car the engine automatic
heat is no longer working. For the first time in 35 years the wife made me
stop and put the top up due we were freezing coming over grants pass. Not
sure I could of made it but I can blame her cause she was first to flinch. I
took my motor apart and the brass ball bearings were frozen onto the shaft.
I got them off and lubed up but I think I want to put a brand new one in
there so I'll never (yeah right) have to mess with it again.  Victoria
british has one for $90 for the Tiger, I think I'll give it a try.

	Just remove the shifter boot and you will have a constant flow of
heat. :)

Generally the problem with the blower motor is that the bushings seize to
the motor shaft.  You can get inside the motor but you need to be a bit
careful pulling it apart.  Remove the bushings from the shaft, clean them,
soak them in oil, clean the motor shaft, assemble the blower motor.
