[AT] Problem with the Case 430CK generator

[drupert at seanet.com]

Mike,

I gave your' Prestolite PN to the guy that has worked on several
generators for me (Larry, the owner of Lynnwood Auto Electric in Lynnwood,
WA) and he said a new field coil for that generator is one day out, costs
81 bucks plus labor (for him probably a 20 minute job).  So, I would think
you could get someone in your' part of the country to fix your' generator.

Good luck -
Dudley
