I cleaned the idlers and support bearings, they move smoothly, I ran the motor by itself, it seemed ok, the rest of the unit is clean inside and everything appears ok. When I put it back together without the lower cover I can see the belt vibrate as the noise begins to appear. The blower assy looks ok. I suspect the motor has an issue?? Thanks

I don't think it is likely the motor is the issue, but if the new idler and support wheels do not fix it let us know. Good luck.
