It could also be the tank cap is not venting properly. Runs for a while, draws fuel from the tank, and if no air can enter the tank then the vacuum will prevent fuel from flowing to the carb. Try opening the tank cap slightly to see if it keeps running.

Runs fine for 10 minutes, then idles irregularly. If load is connected, generator will stall. Checked spark plug and wire - OK. Fuel lines and air filter unobstructed. Any ideas?

The key symptom seems to be "runs 10 minutes". This is enough time for the engine to get hot and pass that heat to other components, like the ignition module. It could be breaking down at that point. Other than that, I have no clue. Maybe some other ideas will be posted.
Since the engine is a Honda GX200 clone, you should be able to obtain service parts at a number of locations.
