This appears to be relating to an Ingersol Rand Air Compressor rather than anything in the Honda Garden category? Make Model (What is is) in all questions please.
According to my research is has a 20HP 3-PHASE ELECTRIC MOTOR. There are some other tihings to consider. When you are running this Honda gas engine, you are filling your workshop with deadly carbon monoxide gas.
Your Honda GX-390 is only 11.7 hp (8.7 kW) @ 3,600 rpm, not 20hp so it is doomed to failure. Also, how are you going to get it to cycle on when the tank needs it.
Take your existing electric motor and get it repaired or rewound. Much cheaper option for a safe working environment and doing the job it is meant to.
Some models charged through a Magneto, but see if you can find the 1979 Year Manual. I have a 1979 engine myself in a 15Hp which is a Manual start(no battery) and I have a Sailhorse Johnson 8HP which has an electric port and is Manual start. I believe the 8HP would charge a battery as on a Sailboat the running lights needed power. The 8HP could power the lights directly.
Johnson offered options for electric start in lower HP units and options in charging systems to contain costs. You might get a better answer from someone by listing the HP of your motor. I was the original owner of the 15HP and remember the 9.9HP and others in the same Sales brochure. The Sales brochure may advertise more about the charging systems.
