Most motors on swamp coolers have an "automatic reset thermal overload". So while your cooler will run, you'll have to keep climbing up on the roof to adjust it after it cuts out every 15 minutes. Obviously this isn't the best way to go about it. The instructions for your motor should be available online to help you figure out the correct tension. It's always best to get it right the first time but sometimes it can wind up as trial and error. I installed my motor, pump, belts, etc by watching YouTube videos. My husband usually causes more harm than good so I generally install the hot water heaters, Plumbing, masonry, cooler maintenance, etc and leave him to do the dishes! Sometimes it's hard because they expect you to have all the fancy tools for measuring the tension but if in doubt, hire the next door neighbor's landscaper to do it for you! I generally just have to flirt to get him up there but you might have to throw a couple bucks their way if you're a male!

A desert is cooler because of the loneliness outside
Put a lot of copper pennies in your swamp cooler. The copper will kill the mold using IONs or something.
the best thing for a swamp cooler leak, is a copper pipe, or plumbing sealant, its similar to jb weld, only its waterproof, and made for leaks.
Home windows do have to be open when you are using a swamp cooler. You do not open them all the way, they should be opened part way.
Its not the air thats slow its you
It depends what is wrong with it. It may need another fan motor or another pump. Other than that, you could have wiring issues or an obstruction in the lines. There really isn't much to them.
It is a function of the "dew point" of the air at any given moment. If relative humidity is high, the dew point will also be high and the swamp cooler air will be relatively warm. If relative humidity is low, the dew point will also be low and the swamp cooler air will be relatively cold. A swamp cooler in Phx AZ will put out air about 30 degrees less than the outside air, and works more efficiently when the humidity outside is very low.
there is a resistor on the fan motor that has gone bad, some models have a resistor unit mounted near the fan in case this happens.
There should be one near to the input power connection.
