Thanks for the response but it's not that. Here's a quick recap of the situation:
1)The current setup has resulted in the quern grinding in the past, fast and slow.
2)I broke the connection from one rotor to the first large gear and it still didn't spin (just 3-4 axles attached).
3)The rotor has 5 sets of sails attached, so max sail.
3)at about 150 height standing near the rotor, the wind was visibly and audibly blowing, and hard.
