I would think that with the torque developed by the motor's gearing, a sluggish bearing wouldn't make much difference. However, it will bind up...
We all know that you only have to fill the stove with pellets once at the beginning of the season. One load lasts all winter, don't you know...
The UL listing might just be for the electrical cord. Seriously, that happens.
Was the shaft bent, or deformed? I had a very hard time removing my auger motor, because the set screw had been tightened so much it deformed the...
Well if it's on the internet, it's gotta be true!
I think that you have an air flow problem. Exhaust fan running too slow, ash blockage (is the area behind the ash pan clear?) OAK plugged,...
To check for overfeeding, time the auger "on"time and "off" time. The correct times are in the manual i.e: level 3 auger should be on for 3.5...
Check all wiring connections, terminals. Don't forget the neutral connection at the block above the Versa Grate motor. My manual mentions...
But you can numb it with a 2X4.
Do you have an OAK? That probably wouldn't affect the starting, but sucking in 14ยบ air would slow the heating process some.
I've never read them, but the manual, IIRC, lists the various voltages for different heat levels.
Yeah, and how many people would have just kept on going, delighted it was throwing snow soooo much farther, and blown the engine! Good for you!
And here am I, not even a dusting, dying to get out and blow some snow. Go figure...
We were promised 4-6", didn't even get a dusting. I have a 22HP tractor just itching to get at some snow...
The Earth Stove that I maintain for a friend used Lovejoys on both augers. That is one old stove, all cast iron, and it keeps on going and going....
Or perhaps a small fan to cool the area the motor is in would help.
A couple of layers of old inner tube works, too.
Check the bushings - they are probably not round inside, but oval due to wear. You can grasp the motor shaft and try to wiggle it in all...
You want to use 3 in 1 in the blue can. It can take the heat better.
About all I know about plumbing is that the OD of the pipe must be larger than the ID.
