Many years ago, a guy named Ohm proved that as voltage drops to a specific load that current will rise.
Gee, I learned in school that Ohms Law states the current is proportional to the voltage. :) What you say is true about a motor load, though, because that is not a resistive load.
Even with a resistive load, it is still a good idea to turn off the load and let the gen run for a few minutes so that it cools off internally. Once the engine is off, there is no more airflow through either the engine or the genhead, and everything internal will heat-soak to a higher temperature.
