I'm not sure about the age. I've only had the house for a couple months, but I can look tonight to see if it's indicated anywhere. I tested the Capacitance rating on a capacitor last night, according to some YouTube tutorials, and it's possibly dead (operator error is also possible), so I ordered a new one. I also picked up a clamp-on multimeter today, so I'll be able to check the amp draw tonight. I peered down the hole when I removed the blower motor, and didn't see anything that looked like it didn't belong. Also blew out any residual rust/debris that was down there.
One thing I also noticed, was when I reassembled the exhaust grille at one point, I didn't install the scoop correctly, so it was sort of blocking the exit air flow. I figured that might impede the horsepower of the blower, but when installed it correctly and pieced it back together, I was still getting .14 on the manometer.
I read somewhere that if the doors/access panels are not all closed up, I won't get an accurate airflow reading, since it's not drawing the airflow that it's supposed to. Is that true? should I have everything closed up? I don't imagine putting it all back together would get me from .14 to .95. I currently have the main door/panel off, as well as the blower access panel. I put the top back on when tried firing it up again, but left the door and blower access panel off.
