I have an early (late '47, early '48) 8N, 6 volt, front mount dizzy, just tuned up last year and newish battery (about 2 yrs. old). After mowing the yard and putting the rider away, I decided to start it up to run it a bit, and then decided to blade the driveway since it was running. Ran it about 20 min., parked it in the shed and covered it up. I touched the genny and it was very hot, like one second-then-pull-the-hand-away-or-you'll-be-burned hot. Never noticed this before. When I first got it (3 yrs ago) it wasn't charging right and I took it apart and just cleaned it and it started to charge fine, no battery issues since. Use it to mow about 6 acres of pasture with a 5' KK "bush hog" 2-3 times a year and push snow, blade the gravel drive with a back blade as needed, so not real heavy use.
What might be up that it gets so hot, or is that normal and I never noticed before? What should I check? Am I headed for trouble with this?
