I now completely “flushed" it with WB40, and its silent now.
No more starting whir (thanks for the correct word), and sure, I could run it with one finger, and a lot smoother now.

With a fan, when you swing it, it keeps spinning for a while, and it stops smoothly, at the end, the fan moves a both back and forwards.

My blower runs smoothly, though some more force is needed compared to a fan.
When it stops, it does it quite quickly. It does not slow down like a fan, it slows down to a certain rpm, and then stops.
it does not have that slow turns that you can see the rotors.

Well, I guess I better go to a car shop, and find a new blower, just to compare. For me it's running fine and virtual silent at 7v.

Diameter of the blower is 12 cm, and the rotor is about 5 cm high. Total including the engine, it’s about 15 cm. I could get me a bigger one, but I think this one will do the trick just fine.

Does your blower also quickly stop, no slow last turns?
