Here are my thoughts.
You won't know the answer to your question without taking inventory of your loads on paper and adding them up. Secondly - how much effort are you wanting to put into this? These are not set-and-forget machines.
As mentioned above once you have your inventory you need to...
5400w @ 240v is ~23 amps. That will require a 10 gauge wire between the generator and heater. The dryer elements will need a decent airflow across them to prevent them from overheating and burning in two. You won't be able to stick them in the oven and use them in that way. You'll need to build...
You'll need to check the wire sizes to make sure you won't overload anything. If its a self cleaning oven its likely that it runs both elements already when running the cleaning cycle. Many also run both elements when preheating.
You don't need a standard VOM. You need to borrow a megger. Its a high voltage tester. I don't recommend running it to test it.
I hope its repairable. The stators are not easy or cheap to find. I have one with a bad stator and have considered having it rewound at a local motor shop. I'd never...

Look at the letters in the triangles. Those are the test points that correspond to the terminals in the diagnostic plug. Look in The TM for the terminal designations of that plug. With that...
If it were me I would clean it with either deionized or distilled water. I know that may sound unusual but water will not harm the circuitry. After you wash it with very clean water go back and rinse it with 70% IPA. That will help remove residual water.
Give it a good inspection and make sure...
The charger doesn't make a lot of power. The dead battery could be dragging it down. Disconnect the battery. You should have an insulated post in there to secure the positive side. See if you can pull start it.
I'm at home this weekend and managed to run all the generators here. Including the...
This one matches the NSN and is less expensive than GMG.
