well, since its a gas generator, my guess is that its powered by farts, so farts would make it very hot.
The way I understand it ... no. The pilot generator is a thermally sensitive on/off switch. It simply tells the valve to open or close. If the unit turns on and fires it would seem the pilot generator has worked correctly. Since the amount of gas flow is the issue, it would seem the gas valve is the culprit and is not opening all the way. Of course, to be certain have a pro check it. If you must, a pilot generator is cheap and easy to replace without a professional, and replacement would quickly determine if the pilot generator was at fault.
If the TV and refrigerator together use (are rated at) less that 340 watts, then the generator will power them until it runs out of gas. It would have to be a very small, efficient refrigerator as they're usually high current devices. The TV would also have to be small and efficient, but that would be easier to find.
I have done a little bit of research on this, and can tell you that a whole house generator is the way to go, if you can afford it. They are hardwired into your home's electrical system, and will usually run your whole house. A single use generator is usually very noisy, and limited as to how much it can power at one time in your home.
No, it is not recommended or safe to boost the wattage output of a 5000-watt gas generator. The generator is designed to produce a specific amount of power based on its engine and alternator capacity. Attempting to increase the wattage output can damage the generator and may pose a safety hazard.
Need to know what voltage the generator is outputing. The maximum voltage a 15kW generator will support at 200A is dependent on service voltage and configuration, the rated generator voltage, the power factor and the load frequency. If this is a typical service to a residential unit, eg. 220V single phase, then the generator will not be able to safely support 200A.
I think you can buy a diesel generator at any of the places that you buy a gas one. Why do you prefer diesel over gas. Diesel would be harder to start in winter cause diesel fuel tends to gel when cold out.
A gas generator generates electricity and can be used as a backup in a power outage. I am not certain what you mean by an electric generator. If there was a power outage, how would an electric generator work?
If you were wanting to change an electric power generator to a gas power generator, I would probably not do it on my own. Instead I suggest you call a professional to change it for you.

A gas generator should always be used outdoors. The fumes from a gas generator can be harmful to your health. You will need to buy gas in a gas can and fill the generator. Most generator are self igniting.
The purpose of a generator is to generate electricity. An electric generator would be redundant. It would need electricity to make electricity and when there is a power outage there is not electricity.
You can purchase a natural gas generator at Amazon.com. Also, there are available natural gas generators at your local hardware store. These would help you during power outages.
A gas turbine power generator and a gas generator are quite similar, but they have their differences. For example, they are for things such as aircrafts which use them for mechanical energy. They are relatively safe to use, and it is better than a gas generator.
You would need at the minimum a 56 KW generator. In reality you would need a 60KW.
You can, it would just not be a good idea to do, unless you have stored the gas correctly.
Flooring the gas petal.
In a hurricane zone, I believe your best bet would either be a portable gas generator or a permanent propane generator. A portable gas generator has more risks, but again, is portable so you would be able to move it different places.
