We took the turbine down and stuck a coat hanger in the hole at the end of each blade. On the blade that was continuously in the down position, I couldn't see in the hole. The hole didn't seem clogged when I stuck in the hanger and the hanger was not wet when it came out. We thought we were unsuccessful, but when we raised the tower, it started spinning! Possibly is was clogged and the water had moved to the center when it was lowered? In any case it is spinning freely and making power again.
Update: at 6PM - Ben said he did he did the same thing to the turbine in Governor NY and it is now working too.
