The generator is connected to the engine accessory drive through a rubber
coupling with keys on it.  Last annual I had my mechanic remove my
generator
and the coupling was rock hard and broke into several peices when it was
no
longer constrained.  We replaced the coupling.  I am very glad Coupe
Capers
suggested checking it since I do not think the generator had been off
since
I bought the plane in 1990.

Don't know if this applies to your situation though.

Subject: Generator problem?

 Last night I discovered that when turning the prop the generator
shaft does not turn. Is it possible that the shaft is broken? I have never
heard of this.
