I cannot get the RPM right: checking the microwave's timer against a separate digital timer, the microwave is running too fast(13 sec faster) than my hand held timer. Turning the yellow screw CCW(several turns!!) I can make the microwave's timer match my hand held, but the engine speed is now so slow that the microwave kills it.
Try adding a few hundred watts of load to the generator while you're setting the engine speed to match your hand held timer. With a very light load, the generator may be producing a waveform that "fools" the microwave timer into running fast or slow - adding an additional load may eliminate this.
Also, have you confirmed that the muffler and spark arrestor are not plugged up? This can make the engine lose power.
