My 1995 Lazy Daze motorhome has the original Onan generator in it.
I tested an outlet in the RV with some lights on.
Hz - 64-65.5 Hz
Volts - 130-133 VAC
Volts at automatic choke lead on carburetor - 30.3 VAC.
I think this is way off.
Is this a generator control board problem?
You haven't stated that this unit has any starting or running issues. While I don't know what the voltage at the choke should be without looking it up (I have the same genny and the manual is readily available online) you seem to be insistent on finding issues when you haven't stated that any exist other than "I think this is way off." As others have stated, try running it loaded for a while and see how it works before condemning/fixing it. My 20 year old Onan 4000 usually hunts a bit before it settles down to "git 'er dun."

It runs fine after warmed up.
My issue is the choke bi-metal heating unit doesn't work.
I just tested the voltage going to it and it is a steady 30.8VAC when I believe it is suppose to be 12VDC.
