Check the battery charger whether an external one is installed or the optional one ion the transfer switch. Measure the voltage on the battery it should be at least 13.8V if it is only 12V then the charger is suspect. Also if it is an external charger plugged into a receptacle make sure that the 120V receptacle is hot (GFI's) tend to trip in a storm

Your gas pressure is too low and you may not have a large enough supply pipe. You need at least 10 inches of water column with the engine running to operate an LP vapor fueled engine. Because the engine is starving for fuel, its governor opens the throttle to WOT (so it goes to high revs) but there isn't any fuel to make horsepower with so the output voltage falls and the undervoltage alarm trips.
