Thanks for posting this video. Mine stopped suddenly during a storm and I thought I broke the belt but after taking it apart, it looked fine. I ended up putting a new one on thinking it was worn. I still couldn't get it to work. I was about ready to throw in the towel and find someone to service it, when I watched your video. I had a small rock stuck that I couldn't see stuck in the same place. I removed the very small rock and now it works fine. Thank you and thank you again 😊.

Funny enough this happened to me today. Heard a "ting ting ting ting" while the impeller was rotating the all of a sudden the engine shut off. Restarted the engine and smoked the belt. Did as you said and found the damn rock wedged in the impeller. At least I was only out a new belt. Thanks for the practical tip!

Thanks, I found a rock behind the impeller fin, so it would turn intermittently. I heard the rock rolling behind the impeller when trying to turn it.

Did you get it bent back and freed up? Was there a rock or something stuck in it?

@ak2304 6 ай бұрын

No :( The whole thing is bent out of shape, I think it needs to be replaced.
