Tryting to get the SuperC squared away before winter, in case I need her to move that nasty white stuff around.
She hasn't been run a lot in the last year-and-a-half, and was giving me a little sass earlier this year about charging. I suspected a bad ground (thread for the bolt to ground the + cable was goobered up) and fixed that. improved a little and got a better charge, but nothing great.

When I fired her up she showed about seven amps aharge at about 3/4 throttle. Went ahead and left her running, just to get her up to temp while I worked on some other things.
When I went to shut her down she was running right along, but showing an 8-10 amp discharge (no lights on), and the generator was VERY hot.
Understanding that a generator's output drops as its components heat up, my thought is there's something amiss in the genny to make it get that hot. A bearing maybe.
