An old lathe usually just go fast enough to emulate a raised idle if original crank pulley is used...get a late pulley and use the larges sheeve on it.
The so far slickest cobbled together testsetup i´ve seen was a cheap tablesaw with the blade changed to a pulley.
A wooden V-block mounted to the table and a ratchet strap to hold the generator down.
In with the generator lower the "blade" to tighten belt...push start
