| OK I have two Troy-Bilt generators. One runs great - no electric. The other had electric, threw a rod. I wanted to combine them (exact same model) but cannot for the life of me figure out how to separate the generator head from the engine. I ripped one of them down to the armature but couldn't figure it out. Any ideas? The one that was w/o electrical had melted brush holder so I swapped it but still no juice. This is driving me nuts! |

| Some generator armatures are connected to the engine cracnkshaft via mating conical surfaces. The end of the engine is typically the male cone and the generator the female cone. A small keyway is included and a long bolt through the center of the generator armature holds it to the engine crank. Try loosening the bolt a few turns and while applying a separating force between the armature and cracnkshaft, tap on the center bolt to dislodge the crank. |
