Look at the way the generator is attached to the engine. Many of those smaller 1 and 2 cylinder machines do not have a bearing on the engine end of the generator. The engine carries the generator shaft. So you will likely have to fab up some kind of a carrier bearing. But that's actually the least of your worries. Most of those smaller gensets need to have the engine spun up to at least 3000 rpms to make them work. Getting 3000 rpm out of a 540 pto is going to be a bit of an engineering problem. One more thing to consider. If you buy another engine make sure it will couple to the generator. I've had a 200 amp Miller for 30 years now - powered by a CCKA two cyl Onan.(very common engine) When the engine was tired in it some years ago I found a new short block to put in it at a reasonable price. Alas, Onan built that engine special for Miller and the new crank would not couple to the generator. I had to use the old crank - which was still servicable - in the new short block. I've cooked many hundreds of lbs of 7018 with my old Miller.
