In servicing my generator, I found a group of armature wires that were bent and scored, as if someone drug a screwdriver across them while spinning. They left their bent impression in the insulation behind them, as if this were done in the factory. The wires were almost touching (or touching), so I gently pried them apart and thus out of their impressions. Now, they are not "stuck" to the backing.

Can I use epoxy to stick 'em back to the armature windings more securely? Will epoxy cause an imbalance? Or just leave them alone? -Chuck
