Snowblower - new auger belt but not throwing well?
#1   Mar 7, 2012 10:28 am

I have an 8.5 HP snowblower that is around 7 years old. The auger belt recently busted apart and I had it replaced with new auger belt (brought it to a dependable small engine repair shop). But now I am finding that the machine does not throw snow as far as it did (even dry powdery snow). It seems like it is only throwing half as far as it used to. Two questions:

 

1) What might be causing this - belt too tight, too loose, other? All the shear pins are fine and the chute is not clogged.

 

2) Can I check the belt myself?

 

Thanks!
