I've pulled the back plate off and tested at the terminals of the motor. Same thing - low voltage output. Generator sat for about a year without running it (now I know that I should run it every couple months or so). I've seen posts talking about re-magnetizing it. Is that the issue or do I need to pull apart the motor and clean up the brushes?

does your generator have a metel tank? If it does it probley has rust in the shut off valve under the tank.

the gensets on coleman generators are definately nothing to brag about but i would start by checking the windings and make sure the brushes have a clean armature to ride on

I'd say your battery in the generator is going bad or bad. They are very small and do not hold a charge for very long. The noise you heard was probably the starter shaft hitting the flywheel cogs. I doubt any harm was done as long as you did not repeatedly try to start it with the key. Why Honda put a battery in these is because they are intended for use in a campground setting, where they would be used on a daily basis and the battery would constantly charged. Whereas people like us buy them for emergencies only, they sit for long periods, and the battery goes flat, and the fuel clogs the carb and we get the surging issue. That's my 2 cents. When I brought mine home new, I Sta-bil'd the heck out of the gasoline, this past winter, on start-up, the unit surges. Of course the battery was flat.

Bad capacitor. They cost 13 bucks. Call 800-445-1805 to buy one.

Around 75 volts DC
