Guys
any input is welcome here.
Because of very slow cranking speed, I opened up the starter and cleaned up
the armature and sprayed it down with the contact cleaner as recommend on
the list. Starter works much better now.
So now I am wondering, the generator is very much like the starter with
armature and winding etc. If the starter needed to be freshened up,
maybe the generator does too?
Any experience, with maintenance frequency on these? are they pretty
trouble free or what?
I'll probably tear into it during the winter anyway, just want to see if I
should do it sooner.
Want to minimize down time especially since the weather has become balmy in
central PA
Thanks
Pete
