Which wheel ?
You need one with deep flutes, for beans I use the stainless steel fert flute, this is on a CO, but the pronto metering is the same.

The sprinter and prunto have the metering units. I swapped the electric motors over this morning to check it wasn't motor.even with just about 10kgs of beans in hopper it blocks

I tried several but the best seemed to be the one I use for wheat. It is deep fluted

Not trying to be funny, but I guess you have installed the large seed plate the correct way round.

I did think so checked. But can't see what plate does as rotor turns in other direction. Could rotor be turning in the wrong direction

Have you fitted the bean and pea kit. It spaces the plate away from the roller giving it more room to allow bulky bean seeds through.
