It's tough to say with so little detail but it could be either the travel limit set way too far forward (causing the opener to stop traveling after only a short distance) or it could be that the main drive gear in the motor is wearing out and no longer making consistent contact to operate the chain sprocket. As I said, it is tough to be sure with not much to go on - hope this helps though.

Sounds like the chain is binding along the track. How old is it? If it's 10 years old, it's probably due a replacement. Those things do not live very long. Their life is about as long as most appliances. 10 years.

Are the assist springs broken?
