[TR] TR4 help, cooling fan

[Wayne Lee]

Plus having 4 Speeds in reverse and 1 forward isn't too handy, which is what 
he'd have if running in reverse.
 So, When you pulled a Fan for comparison, did the Vane pitch go in the same 
direction or Angle?
If so, it pulls like all the rest and he must be on some good medication.
Cheers,
Wayne
