tomplum, I looked at it more closely tonight, including opening the electrical box. Seeing where the wires go is somewhat reassuring, I think I can label them sufficiently, if they have to come off. For now, they're all still connected, from the stator to the Rear Bearing Carrier, and then into the electrical box. I had enough slack to simply move the Bearing Carrier to the side, for now. However, I would welcome any tips on how to remove the rotor. I removed the long bolt, it came off easily. I had read something on another forum (http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/r18965592-Portable-generator-disassembly-help-needed) where the person took his (different) genset to a shop. They threaded a longer bolt down through the rotor, into the crankshaft (so there was still "extra" bolt sticking out of the rotor). They then suspended it by the rotor, with the engine hanging down, and hit the bolt with a hammer, which succeeded in popping the engine off of the rotor. I tried something like that (the long bolts that hold the generator closed are the same thread, but a few inches longer), without success, so far. However, I can't hang it with the engine hanging below the rotor :) I still have the engine bolted down in the frame, but it's bolted onto the rubber mounts, so it could still briefly move away from the generator, if it wanted to. The generator is being supported from below by my car jack. I was leery of actually unbolting the engine, since the engine & generator could then slide out of the frame and fall on the floor. The stator is still installed. Any thoughts on how to loosen this would be quite welcome :) Thank you!

Dell computer usually put the sound driver on a Resource CD that comes with your computer. The 2 Dell that I've worked on had this. See if your sound has been stopped in Services Under Windows Audio. Start - Control Panel - Open Administrative Tools - Open Component Services - Click Services (Local) and Scrowl down the list to Windows Audio to see if it says - Started. If stopped Left click Windows Audio and click restart. - Or Right click Windows Audio - left click Properties - Left click Start If the above doesn't work, go to control panel and open System Icon - Hardware Tab - Device Manager - Click the + Plus sign for Sounds.......... - Right click Realtek AC 97 (Or whatever Sound you have) - Left click - Update Driver. To update you will need the CD that came with your computer Or go on the Internet to download the drivers for your sound. Find what sound your using. All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Information.

Well, actually it looks like chuggerguy is correct. I would never have thought the sound would be coming from my cell phone. Two grandkids, 8 and 9, were here for a few days. I let them play games on my computer. I have an idea they have played around with my cell phone, too, which was plugged in on my husband's desk nearby. It is an I-phone 4- about 2 years old. I hope the sound doesn't mean something is going wrong with it. Owbist, the number on the front of the computer is SR1230NX. Belarc shows many numbers, the most likely, I think is CNH4360SQ1. My eyes are not good enough to see the label on the back. Belarc shows 512 usable memory- Slot A0 is empty. Slot A1 has 512 MB. Snidely, I have a Win 7 but I really like this XP. It might be easier to just give up the XP but I would still like to do something about the slowness.

The cross bar (blocking???) is at 50" so that would be the max height of the top drawer. Two of my IKEA drawers add up to around 13" so I think I could just squeeze them in with an inch or two above the counter for clearance. I have sort of changed my mind about the dish drawer because of dampness and because IÂd probably leave it open all the time but the sink stopper and hand lotion sound promising. I think IÂd get much more use out of the drawers than a niche IÂll have to keep organized but I could put a small one above the drawers. We plan to stay here until this kitchen falls apart so resale isnÂt a factor. The wall was intended to have rails and racks for utensils and the only difference is theyÂll have to be off to the right now instead of centered but I donÂt think it will look too bad with them on 2/3 of the wall. Unfortunately, I canÂt balance it out with more drawers on the other side without making my husband tear down the cabinets and drywall he just installed to relocate the ductwork I told him not to mess with a month ago. IÂd have to finish the kitchen myself at that point. LOL
