Tim -
Per my recent post, I do think the motor is getting cooled. It's just that in a 90+ F day, in the hot afternoon sun, and lots of stop and go traffic (i.e., not much air flowing to the blower motor), the motor still gets hot. What I may want to do is see if I can make a duct that the outside air flows into, and put a filter in front of the squirrel cage intake to the blower. I just have not yet chosen a good spot for air to come into.
