PTO generators work very well. They are however not cheap to purchase.
Your 20D will run a 15 - 20 KW PTO generator with ease. And it will burn less fuel than your Robin-powered generator, even at full load.
As for the Robin generator surging problem could be the carburetor is running lean. Try dropping the carburetor bowl and thoroughly cleaning out the insides. Pay particular attention to the main fuel metering orifice and idle jet.
Or if the carburetor has an adjustable main metering orifice ("high speed" jet), give the screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn out (CCW) to richen the mixture.
If that doesn't do it, and if the governor arm has several holes to attach the spring, relocate the governor spring to the next hole out from the pivot. This decreases governor sensitivity which will lessen surging.
