What other diagnostics have you done to determine that you need a rebuild on either the blower or the engine?

What kind of air filter was that (what was it made of)?

Wow! Nasty miss. Looks to be oem rusted steel wool media including frame pieces. After this happened would the blower turn freely or was it locked up? We completely disintegrated a blower and the engine was still running afterwards.

And you got lucky the old 6-71 got you home before it gave up the ghost  lol
