that's what we refer to in my game as "N.F.G"
but you can apply that term to whatever you want.
Most people seem normal, till you get to know them.

The generator itself is probably still OK,just looks as though the bearing housing has taken a beating.If you take out the 2 screws located behind the
pulley, you can remove the bearing housing and replace it.Just make sure when it is off that you check the armature shaft isn't bent and all
should be good.
Cheers Paul

the side plate that is cracked doesn't have the screws, that is on the other side... can I still replace it? I fiddled with the armature shaft
and doesnt seem to have any freeplay - good news perhaps?

looks like you just need the end cover bearing housing. Pull it apart n check to see if anything else is damaged make sure the armature isnt bent.

Chris I have a stuffed 12v gennie you can have for the parts if you need it. The armature is burned but the housing is all good.

I undid the two really long bolts that holds the two end plates together and the bent end pretty much fell apart... So its just hanging on by the
bearings onto the shaft... Can I remove this?
hey grey, I might take you up on that offer! We'll see what happens...

while you're in there and fiddling with piccies, how do you lube the bearings and what with? anyone know? mine's starting (after quite a few
years now) to get that whine and i'm hoping to just pack it with greasy sh1t to save its leedle life for a bit longer...
:jesus
failing that, I'm thinking of replacing with one of those new 55 amp bosch alternators
mmm crackling sparky blue powerrrr *drools*

yes. an ALTERNATOR.
charges at low revs, more efficient, built in voltage regulator. sounds like a great excuse to bolt one on

dunno... i put mine on almost 6 yrs ago..
has been fine apart from once being struck by lightning. but that'll do it. fried the inbuilt regulator.
so at less than 45 bucks a year i reckon it'd be worth it at 250 bucks.
