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.

There are rebuild kits available for the do it yourself types. If it generates fine but gets noisy when warm ? sounds like the bearings need replacement only. Looks like bearings are available on RockAuto. Ron Fraser From: Tigers On Behalf Of Stu Sent: Monday, June 12, 2023 7:42 PM To: Tiger Net Subject: [Tigers] Generator Issue 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.

I will have to go there and measure the diameter to see if it will fit the dash opening. All of the ones I've looked at before would just fall through the hole. I guess I could wrap something around the lighter to make it fit tight in the hole but I'm hoping to find something that actually fits.
