When I switched it from 50 hertz to 60 it continued to run but pegged the meter past 62. once I cut the generator off and tried to restart it with the switch set on 60 hertz, the over voltage light came on and the gen set cut off as soon as I let off of the start switch.
Did you move the S12, Freq switch back and forth while running the set?
The S12 tells the A1, AC volt regulator what Frequency it is supposed to produce. One of the functions of the A1 is Over volt shut off of the set. The A1 may have become "confused". After you turned the set off again, and is shut down when you released the S1, I assume you had beforehand reset the A2, Fault Indicator? If you do not reset it every time a fault light comes on, it will continue to shut the set down. Try this. Place the S1 in the run position. Reset the A2. Then start the set normally. When it reaches the proper AC voltage, CONTINUE to hold S1 up. Flip the S7, Battle short switch up. Let S1 go. What idiot light comes on?
