[Spridgets] New Genny problem

[Linda Grunthaner]

Derf,
Thanks I figured it out while waiting, the belt had slipped off the lower
pulley on the engine. It was tough to get off which is where the smoke came
from. It is all together now and I even checked the output on the battery
well over 14 volts at high revs.
Thanks so much for your help.
She runs great now. If anyone wants my old genny it is not a threaded type
and a piece where the bold goes through on top near the fan broke off but I
used it as is all year and works fine. Free for the list just pay for
postage.
Happy Motoring,
Linda & Pinky : )
