All I know was those plastic (nylon) teeth used to shear off rather regularly in the good ole days. Surely there is something better available now. Otherwise, you and Richard are probably right enough to not even try and/or get your skates to go to the lake when temperature above/about 30 or so for long period of time.

I think the 90.12in-# figure is the most important.  I don't have an exact measurement, but as I remember it the distributor drive gear is about an inch across, give or take a bit.  There will be something on the order of 90# of force trying to break the gear teeth off of the distributor shaft. Someone else may want to actually run an experiment to see if the distributor drive gears can handle the load of a generator, but I'm going to move on and say that Richard was right.

Jesse, I think the temperature is just a little to high to bother with checking this lake for its skating potential. 8*)
