[TR] re TR4 help, cooling fan, conclusion

[Joe Curry]

I think I can answer that one.

Reversing the wires reverses the direction of the motor and blade.  Flipping
the fan makes it work the way it was designed since the blades are not
designed like a Triumph fan and are not efficient if run in the wrong
direction.
