When I first got the Tiger out this spring, I commented to my daughter that
I was surprised that it seemed to be running fine, She said See? You
shouldn't be so pessimistic. I replied that though it's running fine now,
it's just because it has yet to reveal how it's going to GET me this year.
Well, Sunday it did. Coming back from a little drive, I could clearly hear
some extra clattering coming from under the hood. A quick listen with the
hood up seemed to lay the blame with the generator, but we had people
coming shortly, no time to check more. A confirmation drive this evening
confirmed it. Once warmed up, the generator gets real noisy. It is
generating just fine, I have both a voltmeter and an ammeter to prove it.
The current generator is a rebuilt unit I got from Napa in 2010 ( It's
actually the second from then, the first having a brush shatter after just
a couple hundred mules). But I only have a few thousand miles on it since
then.
I want to buy a replacement and swap the core. Rock Auto claims to have
them (look under old Mustangs), but are there any other sources that you
guys could recommend? I have events I want to drive it to on June 24/25 so
I need quick service.
Thanks
Stu
