Auto-Lite Generator Rebuild
Posted: Thu Feb 06, 2020 10:02 pm
Hope I'm posting this question correctly, (This is my first post) I'm in process of rebuilding my M38A1 generator. It currently has sealed bearings as does the kit that I'm expecting. The oil slinger and its gearing are missing from my generator, I'm guessing because sealed bearings were installed. however it did have oil in the front reservoir.
The question is this: being that I'm installing sealed bearings does that mean that I *do not* have to include oil in the the front and rear bearing recesses?
I was planning to at least run an oiled finger around the bearing seats and still soak the felt washer. I'm open to suggestions.
A followup question is: Do I need to make some sort of space accommodations (adding a nylon washer as an example) for the missing slinger parts?
