Why is my MJ1200 with SureFlow mod doing this?

Thanks Tony! I figured there was a reason for the tab. I just pulled the shaft out, and there is not a speck of rust on it, but it is scratched up. I think that owul dbe normal though...?

mine does that to....all I do is give it a squirt through the front with my turkey baster( detritus getter outter from live rock) and it starts to spin in the right direction.

I stuck my finger in it, and can get it going again, but it keeps doing this...like every couple minutes.

I had one and it sucked water in more than it pushed water out. I tried everything I could think of and finally I changed to the smaller propeller 1600 GPH and worked. I would never buy another one.

Sometimes it helps if you trim the white propeller with scissors. Better than using the black one.

I only have the white propeller. That's the bigger one isn't it?

EDIT: Upon closer inspection, I think the propeller is spinning the wrong direction. How do I fix that?

try turning it off and then back on, i did a mod on a 1200 not what you are doing and i found that plugging it in made it go one way and then unplugging and plugging back in made it go the other way. just a thought try that and see if it works. i could be totally wrong though.
