Output voltage is higher than rating. 120V receptacles are 127V and 240V receptacles are 249V... measured at the connection between the tool and a 250' 12/3 rated extension cord. Is it possible to adjust the output voltage? If it is possible, please provide a detailed description of the location of components to be adjusted and process steps. These generators are burning components out of my tools.
AVR (Automatic voltage regulator) is an instrument that adjusts voltage by means of automatic control device.
Voltage regulator (referred to as AVR) is designed for AC brushless generators with fundamental wave, harmonic compound excitation or permanent magnet generator excitation (PMG system).
Voltage regulator realizes the automatic regulation of generator output voltage by controlling the excitation current of generator AC exciter. Generator voltage regulator can be used for ordinary 60/50Hz as well as medium frequency 400Hz single or parallel generators.
How to Adjust Generator Voltage by AVR

Output voltage is based on 3600 rpm @ 60Hz. Sounds like your generator is over speeding slightly. Put a Frequency meter on the output of the generator and tune it to 61.5 Hz, that will get your generator in the 3600 RPM range.

Okay, I assume that you are referring the economy mode / idle control feature of the generator.
When this is turned on, the engine should run at a slower speed, until a load is detected, then the engine should speed up very quickly. Turning this feature off should result in the engine speeding up quickly as well.
Normally, this is done using a solenoid that is connected to the governor arm. When idle control is requested (run slower), the solenoid engages, and pulls the governor arm in a way so that the throttle is closed. When idle control is disabled (or load detected), then the solenoid sits unpowered, and governor arm is allowed to react normally with its spring tension, and increase engine speed.
Sometimes, a bunch of grit can accumulate in the solenoid body / assembly. Remove the assembly from governor arm, and the generator should run at full speed. After cleaning, replace solenoid, and test. if stil failing, make sure solenoid works by applying 12 volts (usually) to it, to see if it kicks. If it does, look for break in wiring, or at control board.
Good luck.
Testimonial: "Thank you. After attempting what you suggested, we discovered the governor arm was bent just enough to not let the idle control do its job. rus"

This sounds like you have a Vacuum leak.
Take a look at this link:

Diagram "D"
It looks like the auto throttle is controlled by a vacuum system. I would look there first. My guess is that the vacuum hose, item #580 on page D of the parts diagram, is either disconnected or has been damaged. If the vacuum hose is OK you will need to work your way through the vacuum assembly and inspect each part. The parts I would suspect are the check valve, item #564, and the diaphragm, part #560.
The vacuum hose is part #285804-16, the check valve is part #285804-01 and the diaphragm is part #285803-97. All of these parts are available from http://www.ereplacementparts.com.
I suspect that the vacuum line given the location may have a hole in it.
If replacing the vacuum line (Get it from any auto parts store in bulk and cut to length) does not correct your problem repost here and I will discuss setting the output.
Thanks for using FixYa!
