anyone know where i can get a 38A generator rebuilt in se melbourne?and what is reasonable money?

mmmm no !

buy one new for about $250

No one I can recommend, but most auto electricians can do it, if you can't do it yourself.

If you carnt find a place Vintage in Sydney has them fully over hauled ready to go 02-9789-1777, Keep your backing plates as there different for the 38A

thanks, ive just got some new bearings to put in and will save my bikkies for a newby next time.
