I was starting to compile a emergency stock of parts, volt reg, microswitches, relay, stuff like that so a smaller part wouldn't waste my whole weekend. Didn't realize I would need to keep a backup of everything....lol. I just started to get my finances back in order so I wasn't operating on a shoestring but hadn't really gotten to a point of a comfortable cushion yet. Spent some on small junk but who thinks a 3 week old rebuilt start/gen would bite me in the azz? Not me but I guess there is a learning curve in everything.

I left the house with an idea that there could be a chance of either a locked up star/gen cause of bearings or even worse, locked up motor. Glad it wasn't time for a new motor. I'd be sooooooo screwed. Still. Don't want to waste my potentially last big money weekend of the summer on beers and barbecue ...not that it's a bad thing but I can do both can't I?
