So a blade on the outside rotor popped free and hit the middle rotor. It’s happened in the past. This time I did not catch it and it must have ripped the metal free. I restarted and it stated to pull itself apart. Thankfully it’s wet as heck here cause the shower of sparks was pretty impressive.
I am going to do my own rebuild this year on a leaky wheel motor. In my area there is an extensive wait for rebuild services and the price is almost equal to just buying new.
My belt broke. Surprisingly easy repair. The pushrods are designed to bend but people freak out at the thought. Valves are super tough. If all you have is a broken belt it’s an easy fix.
