I have a "Coleman Powermate 400 Watt Power Inverter," model PMP400,
like the one seen at

. Its fan looks like a typical laptop computer fan. When I try using
it, it doesn't work at all - until I direct a brisk puff of air into
the fan, to get it rotating.

I'd like to fix it, if it isn't too much trouble. Any suggestions?

Could be a bit stiff in the bearings or not quite enough voltage to get
it started. The fan in my inverter (not quite the same) spins at quite
a lick. But your right it probably is a standard 12 volt fan. In my
inverter it goes directly across the battery on the inverter side of
the power switch.
