Re: Noisy generator
I had that squeal. Took a while to figure out where the noise was coming from since the sound does not change much from idle to cruising rpms. Finally took off the fan belt and noise went away. Took the generator apart,. Cleaned up/slightly sanded the commutator contacts, cleaned up and slight lubed the spring assemblies (were not floating/springing the brushes down freely, and sanded/resurfaced the brush ends where the ends contact the commutator. Helped a lot, and after a few miles of the brushes/wearing in the noise completely disappeared.
