Was it ever electrically overloaded?

Try the tube that runs between the fuel tank and the carburetor. I have seen them crack since the tank is stationary and the engine is on rubber motor mounts. That line is in constant motion.

You have to pull the rear (muffler end) cover, rear muffler protector (the metal vent), the rear handle, the lower end plate, and the fiber muffler protector so you have access to the head cover. Remove the head cover, disconnecting the breather tube as you do it. Turn the engine (using pull handle) to top dead center compression (both valves fully closed). Use feeler gauge to check the valve clearance between the rocker arm and the valve stem. Intake should be .15mm +/- .02mm (.006in +/- .001) Exhaust should be .20mm +/- .02mm (.008in +/- .001) Adjust as needed by loosening the rocker arm pivot locking nut and adjusting the rocker arm pivot. Tighten the locking nut once set. Put it all back together. :)

Flooding carb perhaps or maybe lots of short duration runs that never allowed it to become thoroughly hot.

Disconnect the auto choke assembly and hook up some sort of mechanism to manually open and/or close the choke. Spring load the choke so that the default position is fully open.

Harry, What parts do you need?

Alfred, Try checking the float 1st. Much like it is done in this video (different generator but same princible.): :)

from your description and what you do , the problem is in the auto control unit it will be in the system to reduce the rpm to idle when there is no load ( auto mains on off controller switching between genset and mains supply) by turning the auto operation off you are committing the gen set to full rpms regardless of the power requirement you have the option of having it fixed at an gen set repair shop or leaving it off and starting the genset only when you have a mains power outage check with an electrician to ensure that it is possible to run it that way as if the mains power unit is not correct , when you start it and you still have mains power , it will destroy the gen set

most likely a governor problem check for broken governor control spring on the arm/lever

on the governor control back to the carby , there is a screw that adjusts the spring tension for the governor arm that screw is the adjustment for engine operating rpm not the idle screw

Depends on the wattage of the individual bulbs. Add up total bulb wattage of bulbs and make sure that it does not exceed the capacity of your generator.
