a single is just that a single auger that scoops snow and shoots it out chute their a smaller unit --a dual front auger scoops snow into another auger which shoots the snow through the chute the duals are bigger and they move more and heavier snow
be sure to check in blower housing (the round part) that impeller isnt frozen at the bottom
can also take off belt guard (2bolts) and check to be sure belts are on correctly
Check the auger shear pins replace if necessary with correct parts(not regular bolts). If auger and the impeller are not turning your cable is out of adjustment. If only the auger doesn't turn, and the shear pins are ok then the brass/bronze gear has shredded which is why proper shear pins must be used. Donyboy73 on youtube show how to replace that gear on an older but similar MTD affiliated blower.
Your belt is probably slipping Is your snowblower a single stage or dual stage? If it is single stage, there are normally multiple holes that you can put the engagement cable into on the lever. If so, move the cable to a hole that is further away, so the lever pulls the cable further. If it's already in the furthest hole, it's time for a new belt. If you have a dual stage blower, the adjustment is usually made at the idler pulley, found under the belt cover.
prolly have to replace it, but you can try spraying P.B. lubricant on either end where the cable enters the jacket and working the cable back and forth untill it frees up; this has worked in the past for me on all sorts of jacketed cables, BE PATIENT AND ALLOW THE LUBE TO DO IT'S JOB, if you try to force it you could end up causing more damage to other components
