Runs but no power (advice)

This is a Wgen5300DFc model westinghouse generator that starts and runs no problem but does not produce power. At the outlet (selector set to 240vac), I have about 5vac phase to phase. Because of how loud the alternator area is when it runs, I suspected the stator but no visible problems. The rotor resistance through the brushes (harness disconnected) is 59.8ohms and no shorts to ground. Stator resistance is 0.9 (L1-L2), and 0.9 (R1-R2) and no shorts coil to coil or coil to ground. The slip rings look okay and the brushes do have a slight ridge but aren't worn out and make okay contact. I suspect the AVR is Blown but does anybody have any advice of other things to check?
