Its a new motor. it turns fine. The motor is disconnected. Completely of the auger alltogether. When i put in a couple pellets and turn the auger by hand. It Jams up. The same way as when the motor mounted on.Wood Heat Stoves said:Ibjeepn said:Did you ever find or fix the problem ? I have the same exact problem with mine now. Nothing wrong with the bushings.
