balancing impeller on leaf vacuum

MCLC · Oct 10, 2015

Any idea of how to do it ?, A place online where I can get info? A place in the St Louis Area where it can be done? It is for my billy goat leaf vacuum, it shakes when running and it is not the engine as it was just rebuilt and runs smooth with out the impeller. Thank you for your help and advice!

Not just a bad bearing?

It's possible it got bent during the removal process.

I would just buy a new impeller

Our magna-matic Blane balancer works good for my Peco 5 bladed impeller.
If not for that I would have had to buy 3 new ones by now

you could try one of those blade balancers that have the pyramid cone on them. you'd have to +/- where needed until level all the way around.. but new impeller would be simpler.

I had a blower do this after a tear down and reasemble, i took the impeller off and reinstalled it again and it was fine. Take the impeller off lube the shaft up and reinstall. See what that does for you
