The generator starts and I can measure aprox. 79 volts AC. like I said the engine runs like if the choke is stuck or something. This sounds like it's going to be really expensive any Idea what this might cost.
79 volts AC.. Should be 120.. You have a problem.
When you shut down under load, epically inductive loads (motors) there can be a few "Feedback" issues.. These should not affect how well the engine runs,, but they can affect how well the generator generates.
Alas, SOME generators however (I do not know about yours) one of the "Feedbacks" is a sensor that detects the generator's output.. If there is no output, or if the output is out of range as yours appears to be,, the generator's on-board computer may say "STOP".. this can give the apearance of the generator running rough..
But I do not know if yoru generator does taht.
