Question:
Last spring, I purchased a Weed Eater Blower/Vac, Serial# 10262D. The unit worked well and last fall, I converted it to a vac and it still worked well. I converted it back to a blower recently and noticed a vibration/sound that was not there before. Upon checking, I noticed that there appeared to be a NUTT missing on the shaft of the spinning cylinder. The cylinder will slip down the shaft and hit the housing. When it spins, it makes the noise and smokes.
What can I do?
Thannk,
