Looking at what stopped mine when I cleared it. It wasn’t the snow in the shoot or the impeller although that had a lot to do with it. It was more the snow and or ice was jamming up between back of impeller and housing. Maybe a something like a big plastic washer to take up that space or what. Going to investigate
I riveted thick pieces of belting to my secondary impeller. It smoked like a ***** the first time I started it. Squealed like a stuck pig and killed the engine on the first fire up. Been working great never since. That's been about five seasons I guess.
