It's probably runout on the face. Did you spin it and see if it wobbled before you installed it?
Also, fans are prone to cracking near the mounting area. Only way to check is to remove it from the generator. _________________ '69 Bug, 1776, dual kadrons, Web 111 cam

If it's new it probably junk and has a ton of runout or isn't even close to being round.
Did it have a series of hoes in the center of it??? _________________ Jake Raby

John, if it turns out to be bad, I have several good original fans. I do know where they are too. _________________ 73 Typ481
