For the second time in a year I've broken a spring in the brushes in my generator in my 55.2 truck. Last time I replaced with one from the parts bin at the local electrical shop, but now I'd like a new set. Are they available anywhere? I'll check locally for more used ones Monday, but don't want to do this evey 6 months.

They are available. There is a generator shop in Johnson City, TX that puts them in my generators. I'm not sure where he gets them, but any generator shop can get them if they want to. Used springs aren't worth putting in. They are not only old, but usually rusty and been subjected to heat. Have you checked your comuntator? If it is out of round, it will make the brushes bounce. A generator shop can turn them on a lathe.
