Hey guys im getting a little **** bout my blower setup. Its making a different noise at cold start up. It used to be quiet until the engine warmed up a little and then i hear the regular whine. Im wondering if enough oil is getting to the blower. It doesn't sound like bearing are going out maybe the blower is not primed well enough at start up. I guess i can disconnect the return line and see how much oil is getting pumped back out into he oil pan. Wondering if anyone has the same problem. Its the Strim blower with 15psi pulley.

You're supposed to check the screen in the oil line evertime you change your oil. I'm guess you havent been doing this?

Just unscrew the line - its a mesh filter - make sure its clean. Otherwise your blower might be getting starved until the oil heats up and becomes thinner.
