I read some troubleshooting guides, but I don't think this is an adjustment issue, I think it's something more dire.
It was working fine one day, then the next day, it's going in small circles, maybe 3' in dia., and it's unbalanced, listing to one side, only on one wheel. All of the wheels are turning fine, and I think the jets are working fine (rear jet and vacuum jets).
I looked in the strainer (where the hose quick release meets the wall), and it failed due to corrosion. The bottom of the strainer disconnected from the sides, and it could have passed debris on to the Polaris. Not sure about this though, it could be something else.
Should I attempt to disassemble and clean?
As a side note, the wheel bearings are shot on this thing, but it's been that way for the past year or so, I do need to replace them (seem expensive for what they are), but I don't believe that this is the cause. I need a new tensioner wheel as well, it seems very worn.
Any troubleshooting suggestions?
