Same here run in the red on power meter to keep thrower happy and not clogging try to slow down to not peg meter as in this last heavy bunch. Of course this is old thrower needing some tlc and por-15.
The power meter is not really too accurate, I tend to trust the E-meter myself. At some point though the problem will either be a wire failure/fire, the motor will burn up it's brushes, or the blower will just suffer a pure mechanical failure of some sort.
One thought: Just how much current can a set of T105's provide? I am running aircraft batteries; maybe T105's can't put out more?
In thinking about it, the overall current draw when blowing this soup out the chute at a rate that would not clog (never clogged today, which was nice) was about 150 amps per string. Pretty constant actually, drive a bit faster and the current wouldn't really go up. It was only when I was doing insane things that I got it into the 400-500 amp category.
