had a charging issue so i decided to go through the system to diagnose the problem. in the process of re-installing the generator, it slipped and fell to the ground. when i picked it up, the casting on the back side had broken off at the mounting point. needless to say there were a few choice words that echoed through the neighborhood.

is it worth trying to "weld" the piece back on or find a donor part or just replace the unit entirely?

any and all opinions are welcome...
