Once you get the linage sorted out, if the issue remains, refer back to post #8 I still think you should verify the governor droop setting before you go any further. Start by checking the easy stuff, then if that fails, go in deeper!

You guys are misunderstanding how that lever works. It's not part of the governor control system, it's the fuel on/off lever and only has 2 positions, full counterclockwise against the stop screw for fuel OFF and full clockwise against the other ( lower ) stop screw for fuel ON. It does no move...

It probably has no effect related to his problem, but you're right, something is wrong with the way the FSS arm is bolted on. Should be a single bolt ( usually with a black knob on the nut ) that's free to slide in the slot. That thing looks like it's got 2 bolts in it. As long as the lever if...

Just a couple more questions, was there a load on the generator in the beginning of the video? If so, how much? The load meter was reading zero and I could hear the same cyclical engine sound both before and after you hit the circuit interrupt switch. Also, there was no change in HZ reading so I...

I'm hoping that by "Idle" you mean running at operating speed, but at no load? That is fairly Typical of a machine with an oversensitive governor. They do tend to start normally and run fine when "cold" then start acting up when they are at operating temperature. Usually you see the issue more...

Very strange, it sounds like it's surging rapidly, like the governor droop setting is too sensitive, but I don't really see any swing on the Hz meter, unless the fluctuation is too fast for the gage to react?? I'd read the TM and look at the droop adjustment procedure, there's a hex key...
