The belt for the blower on this machine keeps jumping off the drive sheave. The machine worked fine before I removed the blower for other work I needed to do to the machine.
I am assuming that I put the machine back together correctly because the bolts lined up and nothing looks crooked. I did move the belt finger when I took it apart.
The first time I put it back together the auger ran by itself at full speed and the belt jumped the sheave. The second time the auger only moved when the clutch lever was pushed, then the belt came off the sheave.
I have missed something simple, I'm sure. I didn't find much of an answer in the manuals I have for this machine.
