Hey everybody! I hope everyone had a very good Thanksgiving :)

I’ve had my fair share of combustion motor troubles with my Harman P68. I purchased the stove in 2014 I believe and have replaced 3. On my 3rd now.

I’m getting a rattle sound coming from the motor itself, I tried to apply some 3 and 1 oil to the back in hopes it would draw it in and quiet it down but it drips right out. This current motor is only half a season old.

It’s not LOUD but it’s rattles. Does anyone else’s rattles?

Check the position of the fan blades on the shaft. Blades may be rubbing on the housing.
