It may be a lot compared to a headlight, but it's nothing compared to a starter motor. Are you talking about starting it with the engine running or off? The distinction is very important to this discussion. If yours seems to be sluggish on startup then you may want to look at the various motors in the heater and make sure that each of them is well lubricated and freely moving. 45 year old grease could be making this much harder than it should be. I think there are 3 motors in there: 2 fans, for combustion and heated air, and a fuel pump motor. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
