I would check wiring from alternator to battery including grounds. If that all is good probably time to replace alternator or have it rebuilt.
Will do, thank you!

I have a gc2300. Should be 99% the same
I had a problem with mine where the battery would go flat and occasionally stall for no good reason.
There is a ground wire from the engine block to the frame. It's about as thick as my baby finger.
Just looking at it, it appeared fine.
But at the point where the wire is crimped on to the eyelet bolted to the frame the wire was cracked/broken.
The wire is stiff enough that it didn't fall down but was only making partial contact.
Enough to start and run when the battery had enough charge but when it got run down it would die.
In the middle of cutting around the garden she died. Started to give it a good luck when I finally noticed the bad contact by mistake.
Replaced the grounding cable and Bob's your uncle. It's down on the side around the bottom of the block. Without going out to the barn and taking a look I forget which side. Just a heavy ground wire about 8+ inches.
Whenever I have an electrical issue I look for the easiest solution first.
Dirty corroded contacts, bad wiring etc.
This one was so obvious but almost got by me.
