I've had inner fan shroud bolts work loose before, and make that
distinctive stone-in-the-lawnmower racket. I know that noise. This is not that
noise. But it could be similar? Like the fan rubbing/striking something
stationary, as opposed to little pieces flying around in there?
Listening to idling engine with a dowel, I cannot really locate the noise
to the fan shroud. But I'd be thrilled if this noise were fan-related, and
not internal!
Anyone wanna justify a more dire diagnosis, like 'this noise is certainly
a cooked bearing, stop at once!' ?
It sounds like the bearings in your generator are starting to fail. A
quick and easy way to know for sure, is to remove the belt, and run the engine.
It sounds similar to a rod or main bearing, but not like the screws coming
loose in the fan shroud.
