So, it's likely a problem with stator. The windings look burnt. The connectors for the brushes are melted, which isn't a good sign. The motor runs great though. Just thought I'd post the results. So, if you adjust the governor, and the motor just races at full throttle afterward, do it again, and do it right this time.

The winding is burnt to a crisp. And you don't even wan to know what that cost. Hint. More than the generator sells for.

That's what I figured. It's still a good motor.

That motor uses the normal generator tapered shaft and the genset mounting flange is part of the engine side cover which will about make it unuseable for any other purpose. Just went and looked the genset is $650

Time to keep your eyes open for a generator with a bad motor and same genset.

That's what I was thinking. Thanks again.
