At least it is still relatively warm...
Couldn't find my VOM yesterday so went in to town for some errands and picked up the cheapest meter I could find. Followed power to the terminal for the fan after church this morning. Have power going to the fan and fan spins freely. Carefully reached in and gave it a spin while it had power and the fan accelerates, but very slowly and never gets up to full speed. Burner cycles on, but I think it is cutting out on the high temp switch due to the lack of airflow resulting in higher supply air temp.
Anyway is a start capacitor going to remedy this or am I looking at a full motor replacement? Either is kind of a bear to reach, but at least I can see the capacitor mounted on the fan housing. Looks like I would need to actually pull the fan out to get at the motor. It is a direct drive fan with the motor mounted inside the fan scroll.
Thanks for the previous responses. Going to be colder tomorrow, need to decide if I am going to call a service guy or not. If it seems like the capacitor will do it I would probably do that myself. I'm cheap enough that I would do the motor too, but tomorrow is a work day and I'm not sure I can take the time to do it. Wish the supply houses would have been open this weekend, but with the holiday there hasn't been a way to get parts since Thursday.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
