[NoVa-Corvairs] Generator issue

[Ron Tumolo]

Justin,

I'm free tomorrow night and will swing by between 530-6 if you're
available??  I have a spare generator that I thought was bad that I
was saving for parts, but I bench tested it last night and it worked
OK. If you're available we'll check all the connections again,
polarize the V/R before we swap out the generator, time permitting.
Let me know.

Ron
