Based on the following quote from the a few posta back by the owner:

"I removed the generator and had it rebuilt and unknown to me the idler gear had rolled down the chain. "

I have a little problem with this. IF the the IDLER just rolled down the chain then the chain must have stayed on the gears. No? All u need to do is reposition the idler. Why did the chain ever leave the gears???? It was only an idler that left the gears.
