Commutator rough or out of round. Or emery particles caught in the copper which are eating the graphite away rapidly. It's probably best to find an automotive electric shop in your area who can turn the commutator round and smooth again. If you take the generator apart (it's easy) and just take them the armature with the bearings still on it, it should be cheap to have this work done. I can do it here, too, but that's a long way to go for this kind of work. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
