Hi-

I'm just about ready to shove my insert back into the fireplace after replacing the auger motor. Like an idiot, I didn't take a picture of the old motor before taking it off the mount. So...

Can someone tell me if the auger collar is supposed to rest tightly against the black nylon bushing that the auger itself runs through? At the moment I have it set up that way and it seems reasonable, but just want to make sure so I don't burn the motor out.

Hopefully this is a quick 'yes' or 'no'.

Thanks!
