I posted before that I got my generator fixed, but wanted to make one comment that the guy at the shop told me. I guess he had to reweld or whatever because the shaft was turning but nothing else was. Sorry, I don't know how to describe what he showed me better. Anyway, what he said is that if you don't keep a trickle charger on your battery you need to charge it up for a while before running the car. Evidently, the generator gets real hot trying to charge the battery and run the car. If it gets too hot then what happened to my generator can happen. It "melts" the weld??

Don't know if you all agree with this. But wanted to share it and hopefully someone who knows exactly what he was talking about will explain it better!!

Sorry
