It's a 48 block with an offset gen mount modified to use the orig hold down nut.
If it is the gen, which one do I order??
Any fix for this gen??

This almost has to be stuck points in the voltage regulator causing the generator to motor. Take the regulator cover off and look to see if any of the points are closed. DD
