If I do that, nothing happens. The housing turns and the armature stays stationary. Once the housing is unbolted and pulled back a bit you could spin it in a circle. You mentioned taking the big nut off the back of the armature shaft. Does that mean that I have to disassemble the welding generator? For instance remove the brushes from the 3.5 kvt rotor assembly, pull the rotor off thus allowing the axle of the armature along with the axle bearing to slide out of the alternator bracket - keep going until housing is off and engine remains witharmature still attatched to it? If so, There would be no reason to rotate anything 1/4 turn on this machine. If not then why do I need to remove the nut from the back of the armature? If yes, then how do you keep from screwing up the armature by dragging it on the coils? I'm not clear on the actual procedure. Does the generator just come off, or does it get disassembled? Thanks alot for trying to help out!
Patpro said earlier" Take out the bolts to the flywheel, the thin plate, then twist about a1/4 turn, it will disconnect from dowels, then support the armature etc.
1). What flywheel bolts are accessable at this point?
2). Twist what a 1/4 turn?
