Check that the v section of the belt is correct if it is a v belt drive. If the top section of the belt is too wide for the pulleys there is extra load placed on the edges of the pulley flanges. A correct fitting belt should be level with the top of the flanges or just feel able above the flanges.
It is likely the water pressure is low (perhaps a leak in the irrigation pipe) or simply the spring is stuck. Wonder if you have more than one sprinkler connected and if all are having the same problem.
The only way I know to remove a broken bolt is to drill the center of the bolt - with a bit that is small enough that it will not cut thru the threads. You only have to drill a short distance - enough for the extractor tool to bite into the inner diameter. Then, use an "EZ Out" or other brand of screw extractor to unscrew the bolt. These are basically hardened, tampered, left-hand threaded (to remove a standard threaded bolt) tool that is inserted into the hole you drilled in the bolt. It has a square top designed to be held by a tap wrench. As you turn CCW to back out the broken bolt, the threads of the EZ Out grab the inside of the drilled hole in the broken bolt. EZ Outs come in a variety of sizes for different size bolts. Some Tap Magic lube cant hurt either.
If you have a granite or stone countertop/sink, use silicone as plumber's putty will stain the stone. Plumber's putty is petroleum based so it will not adhere to stone. Normally you should use what the manufacturer recommends and where they recommend. When installing a faucet, put either around the base of any piece that goes through the countertop.
Hope this helps. If it does, I'd appreciate your vote. Thanks,
