Not putting out any voltage
SOURCE: Honda 5500 Generator
If you have checked the stator, rotor and brushes and they appear alright then it is probably a voltage regulator. The honda dealer can run a test and confirm the problem at very little expense. It cost me 25 dollars Canadian to preform the test and it was well worth the money because you cannot return electrical parts and they can be very expensive. Have a great day!

SOURCE: titan 7000 generator...the generator is not
you know , i have helped several people on thire cars , i want a fix and you want money...not faiir at all....i thought this sight was a helpful sight...i see diferently now....thanks
SOURCE: My generator won't put out power. Engine runs
check
avr / brushes if it has them
if not capacitor and diodes on the end of the armature
SOURCE: the engine does not give out voltage

Those voltage readings MAY be normal.
The AC waveform may cause your meter to read inaccurately. You would need to use a TRUE RMS meter to accurately read the voltage.
The siple meters actually read the AVERAGE voltage and then are calibrated to mulltiply it by the "form factor" for a sine wave. OFTEN these generators don't produce a clean sine wave. A square-ish wave will read higher on the garden variety meters.
Compare the brightness of a lamp comparing to when run on your utility.
The frequency depends on engine speed ... yours is running a bit fast...check it under at least half load and if off, adjust the govenor slightly.
