Check your voltage inside the house, running as many loads as possible. You'll probably have a fair amount of voltage drop between the generator and your loads. Also check it at the generator with no load. You probably don't want the no-load voltage to go over 130 volts, nor for the voltage under load to drop below 115.
I assume you're using a Kill-a-Watt meter. Bear in mind these devices aren't real accurate when it comes to reading voltage. You need a "true rms" voltmeter to accurately read the voltage coming out of a generator, and I'm pretty sure the Kill-a-Watt doesn't do TRMS. With a nice clean sine wave off the grid, a peak-averaging meter will accurately read the RMS voltage. But generators typically don't produce clean sine waves, which will cause a peak-averaging meter to read high or low versus TRMS.

Today's Featured Article - More Memories of a Field Service Engineer - by Brian Dye. Introduction: The author worked for one of the largest Ford tractor dealerships in England as a trouble-shooter on tractor engines, hydraulics and combine harvesters from 1963 to 1972. In 1972 he became a dealer manager and finally left the dealer net in 1975 to run his own electronic design and manufacturing company. [Editor] We live right in the middle of Norfolk. The dealership that I worked for sold Fordson Tractors from the 1920's and some of t
