Generator woes


We have been really blessed to have a generator that can run the whole house on the many occaisions that the electricity is cut off for one or another reason. We have been without the generator since begining of November. And we suspected that it was begining to seize. We have the priveliage to host Ben & Shiela Moyo. Ben a mechanic, helped me to strip the generator and we found that a small pipe which feeds Diesel to the injector had broken and had leaked diesel into the engine oil and the bearings were damaged & seized the engine.
So, now we need to find someone to do the repairs to the crankshaft and to supply new bearings. Another learning curve in progress.
Please pray that we will be able to get it sorted out quickly. As power cuts are still a problem although not as frequent and not for very long periods. But electricity supply is never certain.
