James,
I have a DKDFJ - 8.0 in my old Eagle and they are the most reliable Gennys I've seen.
If your stumbling begins to get worse it's most likely the Fuel Pump beginning to fail. Easy fix for less than a 100 bucs for a new one. Its a Facet 6 psi- I have the part number if you need it.
In order to check the Governer and engine speed (and it should be 1800 RPM Constant)
Go to Lowes and buy a Kilowatt Meter ( about $25).
I keep mine plugged into the bathroom outlet, it reads constant voltage and Hertz.
The numbers should be 120 volts/ 60 Hertz constant under load.
I have all of the manuals and quite a few part numbers if you need them.
