Have a mag 3 that stopped running. Pulled it apart and everything looks good. Cleaned with vinegar, reassembled, and still doesn't run.
Replaced Impeller and works like a charm - so the problem was with the old impeller.
The only visible defect with the old impeller is that the little black hard rubber bushings on each end of the axel seem to be somewhat worn or compressed. I'm thinking if they are not holding the axel perfectly centered, that might explain whey the impeller does not rotate.
Seems a shame to have to replace the whole impeller when two new bushings would fix it.
I have not been able to find just the bushings. Anybody else figured this out?
