Morning Andrew,
When was the tool last serviced? Seems rather strange that the fan has only turned 1/2 a rotation. Sometimes, the trigger unit can fail on this tool but.... I'd suggest that you don't try too many times as potentially, you could burn the fan motor out?
Just a thought though, if you disconnect the power to the fan, can you either see or, hear the spark being generated?
Regards

if your fan motor is ok, which it probably is, it has got to be the spark unit . the spark unit is the brains of the operation. the little black box located in the handle of the tool( the spark unit ) can cause fan to run slow or not at all. its a bit expensive( probably 60-80 dollars) but not that hard to change out. if its the original be careful pulling it out its glued in from the factory.
