	Wait a minute here--the generator's dead, but the engine runs? 
Where's the spark come from? If it is the generator, it's been my 
experience that the things are kinda hard to get out even with the engine 
_out_. I imagine (and have heard) that it's possible to do it with the 
engine in, but I would rather take the 20 minutes (OK, you're a 
beginner--half an hour) to pull the engine and have all the space I need.
