New starter rope installed!
Ok, I measured voltage on each leg of the 240V plug, one is 125.5, one is 120.5 or 119.5 - I can't remember. Using a true RMS meter if it matters.
I also tried spraying carb cleaner (Berryman's B12) into the air cleaner while it was running normally & when stumbling - I couldn't detect any real change in the motor when I did it.
So then I tried starting fluid, and it would keep it running if I gently misted it periodically while it was trying to die, but it never really perked up all the way.
I also pulled the carburetor bowl drain & turned on the fuel shutoff, it flows about 3oz per minute, so I think it's got a good fuel flow into the carb.
Based on what I'm reading above, it sounds like it is what it is, and I'm running out of tests.
