according to that drawing
yes it should be delivering full power to the outlet ,in the 120 mode
if possible look at the back of the duplex recp to confrim the connection between the rd& brwn wires by the copper tab
and the same thing forthe blue & white wires by the copper tab
the switch doesn't physically connect the wires ..
it connects to recp and the, tabs on the recp make the parallel connection
for full power if these tabs are gone, it will 1/2 power on each half of the duplex
the voltmeter on the front of the genny, should be accurate enough for this type of problem
just run the genny and see if the meter says 120 or 240
shut it off flip the mode switch and start it up and check again
it should read the other voltage
compare the switch position to the meter reading
if the meter doesn't change something is wired wrong in the genny
take it back for another one
