Scrap, not really. The blower will have some "play" but not if you were to hold the rotors and try to rotoate the pulley. Now don't ram your fingers in there and give the pulley a twist, that would hurt, alot.

They will be some play in the gears that make the pulley rotate the rotors.

How many KM's are on the blower? if they are high, then maybe its worn out bearing(s), or a coupler. Those are all replacable and fairly cheap to do either before or after its sold.

you could buy a new solid coupler, and there will be no play at all if that would make you feel better. the stock coupler has a spring in that allows it to have play.

Just fyi.....we had a solid coupler on my old blower and it was loud as hell. Sounded like crap, replaced it with the stock spring coupler and the noise was totally gone.

Maybe it was just me...
