generator rebuilding

[rg500g]

It gets better and better.  I checked out the points today, and they're barely recognizable for the rust.  When I pulled the condensers and log a peek at the generator windings I saw yet more rust, explaining why the shaft was quite frozen.  The generator is a mess.  Does anyone rebuild these, or do I just replace it outright?  I'll need to communicate relative costs to the owner.  I think by the time he's done with this custom  dream of his (and my nightmare) he could have bought a cherry 350r.

Any leads on generator refurbishment (or replacement) for the 200cc engine would be greatly appreciated.

BS generators are problems, anyway.  I would have owner order a new generator or tell him to sell us the 350 real cheap.  Ha Ha ha.

Really I think it would be best to replace it as what I said above is true.  Luke

There's a 175 generator listed on Ebay right now....not sure if it's the same as a 200 though:
