Re: Fan Motor '80 MGB

Rob,

I've got also got an '80' and had a 'worn bearings' problem with both my fan
motors.  I suspect that your bearings are going/gone causing the armatures to
turn with difficulty, causing the high current draw.

I disassembled my motors, cleaned them up, repacked the bearings with a mixture
of graphite powder and axle grease. About an hour job. Haven't had a problem in
over 2 years.

Or you can buy new motors at $80 each.
