Picked up a breckwell p2000fs on marketplace. Replaced auger motor. Stove doesnt seem to be feeding correctly. It doesnt feed enough pellets to start. It has the 1 rpm motor. Is it supposed to have the 4rpm? Went through the stove and there are no jams.

Their are 2 different motors for your unit depending on the control panel and date of manufacturer. If it is not feeding enough i would bet you got the wrong motor, what was the RPM on the original.
The above is only for setting the heat setting #1 ( basically the keep alive flame) so it does not go out on you when you put it down to 1. Of your having issues identifying what motor you need post up a picture of the control panel and the date stamp of the stove. When you get this stove running properly they are a great stove. I have a older unit that i got used and it has been rock solid. I have replaced all the motors and control board due to a motor sizing up and sending a power surge though the unit but that was my fault as the motor that caused this was installed upside down so i did not see the oil port on it and never oiled it. But after replacing everything the unit has never run better
 
Your Breckwell P2000FS likely uses a 4 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) clockwise auger motor (Part #C-E-010), common for models with 1-inch auger coil spacing, but some older units (pre-2003 or certain serials) might use a 1 RPM motor, so checking your auger shaft's coil spacing (1" for 4 RPM, 2" for 1 RPM) or your control board settings is crucial for correct replacement, as Breckwell used both speeds over the years.

1996 unit. Serial number 11155. Ive done the trim adjustment and it still won't feed the burnpot for startup. It has the digital board.

Can you run it without pellets and ignition and count the number of auger revolutions per minute?
