Agree on both counts.   I had my heater core rodded out and sealed up a 
bunch of years back, and the  system went from way to little heat to just plain 
too little heat.  And  reconditioning the blower motor couldn't hurt 
either.  


But here near Boston, no way  it would have been enough for today...

    The blower motor on my Tiger was running slow  at one time.  I found 
that the motor was drawing over 1 amp.  The  motor bushings were seized to the 
motor.
I cleaned the motor shaft and lubed the bushings.  The  blower ran much 
better and only drew around .1 amp.  I don't recall  exactly what the final amp 
draw was, too long ago.   Checking the  amp draw is one way of checking the 
motor/ bushing condition.
 
    The heater core is sized nicely  IMO.
You have to check that the core is not plugged - I back flush the  core now 
and then to get the sediment out of it.
The air has to go through the core not around it for it to work  correctly.

Hello,
 
Though my Tiger 1A is tucked away for the Massachusetts winter,  thoughts 
of improvements/fix-ups still pass through my head. This question  is about 
the anemic demister/heater system.
 
Two components make up this system
1) the blower with the squirrel cage fan
2) the heater radiator
 
The blower fan seems like it could use a redesign. SOOOO slow.  Mine is 
working same as it ever was. Anybody tried  upgrading this?
The radiator seems awfully small. Any smart-guy thoughts on  this?
 
Anything else I should be thinking of? Any Ideas?
 
Even if the heater isn't regularly used, I'd like to be able to count  on 
the system to defog the windshield.
