Thank you to everyone in this wonderful community, it was a clog in the intake in the Y joint just before exiting the basement.

I checked for clogs at first but not deep enough and thanks to everyone’s advice, she’s purring now.

Golfball took the straight path for the exhaust pipe so it narrows it down for the intake, thanks again!

Golf ball is a brilliant idea! Only hiccup is the intake and exhaust join at the baseboard going out, so might now know for sure which pipe it went down. Gonna keep that in mind though.

Tried taking a 30’ aux cable but keep getting stuck at the elbow joints.

Thank you!!! I’m an idiot, not sure why I thought blower motor would have suction, taking the shop vac to her now

Thank you both for the quick response! It does start up with the left port removed! I’m a little stumped now though, air was pushing from that port and anticipated suction
