You should be all right at 118v. You should not get into trouble until about 110v or less. The voltage went up when you loaded the gen, and the governor called for more power from the engine, more rpms.
I'd say it has more to do with the regulator which may be automatic and yes the engine speed might appear to increase when actually trying to maintain it, but the RPM must stay within limits to produce the 60HZ required frequency, as per the formula....Generator Frequency (f) = Number of revolutions per minute of the engine (N) * Number of magnetic poles (P) / 120
