That's unusual.
The motor has brushes, but the wheel should still turn very easily, using a single finger. If you look at my first post in this thread, you'll see a pic of the rotor.
I don't know about European blowers, so maybe you have something completely different. AllI can say is that the WD-40 helped get rid of some of the constant whir, but I never had a "starting whir".
Tell us more?
