<div><span>I cleaned the motor shaft and lubed the

<div>Hello,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Two components make up this system</div>
<div>1) the blower with the squirrel cage fan</div>
<div>2) the heater radiator</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The blower fan seems like it could use a redesign. SOOOO slow. Mine
is working same as it ever was. Anybody tried
upgrading this?</div>
<div>The radiator seems awfully small. Any smart-guy thoughts on this?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anything else I should be thinking of? Any Ideas?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Even if the heater isn't regularly used, I'd like to be able to count on
the system to defog the windshield.
