Other possible cause's of problems,worn belt(s),worn/misadjusted clutch mech,worn/bad bearings on blower causeing excessive mech drag on blower drive system when blower loaded. You might want to goto link below & click on operation on left side of pg,select snowthrower from list of acc,see if any blowers shown/listed match your's,if so read manual may give you some hints as to clutch adj & operation of blower. snowblower [Reply]   [No Email]

You might gat a tachometer and make sure the engine gets up to 3600 rpm. Also check the diameter of the pulleys. If you have or can get a photo tachometer you can make sure you have enough rpm's at the rotor. [Reply]  [No Email]

Might try again. It sure spins fast though pretty sure it spins faster than it should. Pretty sure the snow being as wet as it was was most of the problem [Reply]  [No Email]
