Does your genset seem like it is running at a higher rpm than normal? You can buy cheap HZ meter plug it into your 120 v socket and adjust the speed to read the correct HZ at the proper rpm.

So using a decent volt meter will do.
If there is an adjustment on the governor I would try slowing the engine down while watching the output voltage, setting it at or a whisker over.
