OK I got #2 home today, filled it with oil, fuel, fixed the broken sediment bowl (replaced) and this one runs and generates but as SEEMS to be NORMAL it has controller issues, this one the "arm" will not rotate enough to contact the magnet, I am assuming someone messed with the pinch bolt that holds the arm on the controller's shaft but I cannot find any info on "calibrating" the arm and shaft.

lift the arm up push the pin in and hit the arm with the bottom of your fist, lift the arm off the pin and it will close all the way.
The set screw for the arm inside the actuator is loose or not set right.
This is not a controller issue.

Thanks, I consider everything from the governor arm the the controller bard, including the linkage as part of the "controller" as it all interacts with each other.
