Turns out to be non-trivial. The generator is a Champion 7500 Watt Dual
Fuel. Said adjustment is under a cover, somewhere. The technical
bulletin for adjusting it tells what to do, but doesn't include where
the adjustment is located. It says, "Note: The governor throttle
adjustment screw can be identified with yellow marking paint and a
spring around the screw threads to keep it from changing adjustment."
That's helpful, but it doesn't say what cover I have to take of to find
it. It also says, "Refer to CPETB2050012, voltage adjustment technical
bulletin for proper adjustment procedure." I'm still digging to find
that bulletin.

The generator has an "Intelligauge" – Three mode digital meter for
displaying running hours, voltage and hertz, so I should be able to
watch it while I make the adjustment.
