Hi Onan.
The problem is I can't find the bulletin. Do you have a link to it? I had realigned them but I like to make sure what I did it what the manufacturer wanted. They were kinda of off to one side a few brush changes ago and I shimmed it so they are in the center of the slip rings. The one slip ring had wear so hopefully I am good for some time. All ohm readings were OK at the components.
I actually found my problem today. Pin J1-3 had been pushed out from all the disconnects. The latch that holds the terminal in place is not holding any more. Odd that it did it in the middle of running. Must have broke and then vibrated out. The seal has also swollen and won't re-install.
It is running right now, hopefully it will be when I go back out.
Off to find a new connector end.
