a few things about this have me scratching my head.
the genny has an overtemp shutdown. if it is overheating, it will shut off.
did you use a temp gun at the thermostat housing to see if the temps matched your gauge?
i would be suspect that the sensor for the gauge might be not working right or the gauge itself. is it an analog gauge or a digital? the digital uses a lookup table to map the resistance of the sensor to the temp. and we all know that analog gauges are highly un reliable. like not readying right, grounds, etc.
if you wanted to be sure about the thermostat, you could just take it out if you think that is the problem.
just a few thoughts
