Hi,

Title pretty much says it all, but a picture's worth a thousand words right?

Here's a video I just took.

The dust it leaves is pretty much centered under the clutch assembly/pulley.

Anything obvious?

Thanks.

This kind of diagnosis is difficult from afar, even with your good video. I think the black dust is your belt disintegrating, and the noise sound like a problem in the transmission, possibly with the brakes although it could be the clutch.

The brakes are inside the transmission on this model, so they are not separtely repairable.

The dust is probably from the motor clutch going bad, just pull the motor and clutch out and check.
