Well, I managed to fix the Generac issue. It turned out to be the Voltage Regulator. In my search for knowledge, I came across a great site with a fairly easy to understand flow chart. This is a must for troubleshooting a Generac RV 4700 generator. Just grab a good VOM, some patience, and you can identify the problem. The VR cost $120.00 from a local electrical supply place. Much less than hiring an electrician to come out. Glad it wasn't the stator or control board.

Happy ending to a frustrating problem :)

Thanks for the link. I'll add this to the files section for any other Gaurdian genny owners. Hopefully you'll never need it.
