Hi,
I have replaced the ball bearing that presses in the left side cover and connects to the crankshaft on the outside of the stator a couple times. It always wears out and the balls fall out. It must be out of alignment or something? or do I understand there is a fix for an overheating problem? when it fails it makes a lot of noise.
I don't follow why this bearing is even needed, it is on the outside of a very stiff crank that seems to hold the generator electrical rotor in the stator just fine.
Can I simply leave this bearing out or ???
thanks, Matt
