I picked up this Coleman Powermate generator from Craigslist. It was listed only for $50 with a good running Subaru EX21 engine, but putting out very little power. Before tearing it apart to harvest the engine, lets double check the health of the stator and rotor to determine if the powerhead is terminal. Any who knows, maybe I can fix it.
