yes, this thing was not in the most protected environment for a number of years. of course, now, it is.
so I'm hearing, replace the stator windings (who does that?? ) OR get a completely new Alternator.
I've certainly looked at Utterpower's PMG, but I'm hoping for other specific suggestions: what should I get and who should I get it from?
--- I use my 6/1 for BACKUP for my off-grid (full time) home. That is, in the winter, from November to March, I like to bump up my battery bank because the solar panels aren't getting the long love from the sun. I also use this thing for power tool usage. That ends up being about a 5 hour stretch, once a week for 4 months, max. 80 hours a year.
