I took a look tonight and the lower brush is sending off sparks, 
particularly when it's revved up.  I got at least 40k out of my last set 
of brushes, what is this all about?  I cleaned the commutator with a 
toothbrush and carb cleaner and that may have stopped it.

Anyone have the generator FAQ?  I wasn't able to pull the generator out 
w/o taking off the pulley so I cleaned it in place.  There must be a 
trick, the belt is too tight.  The pulley housing hole is slightly too 
small to get any angular advantage to slip the belt off.
