So the metering pumps appear to be clocked correctly... one may be leaking slightly (or its the fuel hose going to the barb, but very slight).... how about the above photo though? Did you let out the tension on the frequency adjustment knob up front? That rotating assembly should be touching or...
I wouldn't adjust the governor just yet. I suggest you put a full can of seafoam in the fuel tank, and run it at 70-75% rated current figure you call out (before the issues start happening) for as long as your fuel allows (or make sure the tank is at least half full) and run it till its almost...
If the machine is new to you, just get it up to operating temperature and step it up to 100% rated load at whatever interval works best for your days timing. Me? If its new, I get it to temp and have no issue getting it to max load ASAP... I only take my time if its new in my hands.
As...
I don't have experience with that set, but I am almost certain its critical to function. I would say those sets, at this point, are worth what their parts alone will bring. The engines being the most valuable piece.

Which also brings to mind that your alternator may also not be working properly to recharge the cells under use. You should take the batteries somewhere they can be properly tested.
You should start your own thread on this, maybe @Guyfang can help you out with that.
Have you verifiied that your batteries are still good? It sounds like they are on the edge of failing.
Hows the gauge panel look? You seem to be putting a lot of thought into making it 'right'. Many are very faded due to sun and age. If yours is not as nice as you want, I think I have a couple new in box gauge panels for the 002/003.
