Snowblower vibration

I have a toro 7-24 snowblower, model #38072 which has major engine vibration at all rpm’s. Disconnected drive and auger belts to rule out issues there but vibration still there. Checked engine mount bolts and they were tight. Also looked at front crankshaft pulley while runnng, no bent crankshaft. Should I pull off engine shroud next and look for loose bolts and or loose flywheel? Thanks for any help.

Does it have a light at the handle controls? If yes maybe flywheel rotor magnets came off flywheel, If flywheel is loose engine won't run good and would damage flywheel key and would jerk pull rope from your hand. If you do look at flywheel check to see is weight is still on it. If engine runs strong and sounds good maybe you need to look at the crankshaft again for slight bend.
