Also, be sure your belt is in good condition, properly tightened, and not glazed. A generator takes a surprising amount of power under load. Getting the pulley nut tight, as Alan mentions, is difficult when you try it with a wrench while holding the pulley. We use an air wrench for that job, and the pulley always stays in place.

Parrish, The chirping will get worse to the point of pedestrians will jump back when it happens! You need a new bearing up front, and might as well put in a new bushing in the rear while you're at it. Make certain that the pulley nut is good and tight when you put it back on.

my generator is chirping a little from the pulley end...I did see the little cup on the other end and dropped a little machine oil into that side, but is there additional oiling for the pulley side? Thanks!
