.

it used to toss snow 20 or 30 feet ,
now it's maybe 5 feet , the auger turns ,
the impaler goes but still it doesn't blow snow


sounds like a shear bolt sheared or a belt slipping under load


replaced all the belts and checked the pins 100 times
is the chute rusty? keep it clean and smooth and well waxed. Olso
make sure the engine is getting up to proper speed. It takes
"velocity" to get distance, and too much resistance slows it down

the chute is plastic pvc it runs well it just doesn't throw snow like it
used to


Are you sure you remember what full speed really sounds like? If it runs
full speed but won't throw snow, then it's not the engine. Also, if
something else is wrong, if it won't throw the snow because of that,
I suppose if you try to continue to jamb snow into it, then that could
bog the engine down too.

i guess you're not getting what i'm trying to describe
