So the motor ran fine with no fan and on a bench supply. Is it possible the motor shaft is freezing up with run time and heat, including from the combustion itself? Seems like the fan ran for a short time early in the AM. BTW, that second wheel on the motor shaft forces air into the combustion chamber. That's what keeps it burning at higher altitudes, as opposed to the free air design of the WH.
