Okay, along with the other things we tried, mostly cleaning wiring connections, I disconnected the voltage regulator, taped off the wires, leaving the two connected to each other, and the generator started up and continued to run, even without the prime switch engaged. We then put it under load, checked the voltage and frequency (both just a tad low) and it ran until we shut it off even with the AC on.
Weird, huh?
It still is not quite right, adjusting the main jet screw on the carb didn't make any difference no matter how far in or out it was adjusted, and adjusting the governor rod didn't increase the RPMs any noticeable amount. Voltage under load is now at about 118.5 and frequency is at 57 HZ. But for now, it's good enough to be functional.
I will keep in mind the admonition to NOT use any fuse over 5 amps.
