Time was, a lock washer and a nut held stuff together.  This is just a case of bad juju  And how did that little rat b&***8d find its way in?

Seems like you had a previous thread on this generator rebuild.  Maybe the Mods could merge them?  Barry so sorry about your troubles.  I know i felt that way when i had to re-re-build my steering gear (the second time)... albeit a lot less money.
