Did you hook my VR's wire back up to K15-1?

Frequency is set by adjusting the Frequency Adjust throttle cable located on the far left as you're facing the control panel. Recessed black knob. unlocking the knob and turning it will adjust the frequency (engine RPM).

When you start the generator and hold S1 in START is the correct AC voltage displayed on the generators AC Voltmeter? What voltage does it read?

Once you release S1 back to Prime/Run does the AC voltage displayed on the generators AC Voltmeter drop? What voltage does it read?

Normally you can adjust the frequency a few Hz below 60. You'd need to post up a picture of the mechanical governor lever so we can see if it's a cable problem or an adjustment issue with the mechanical governor stops. Normally the stops are set at the factory and don't need adjusting.
Post up a picture when you have a chance of the mechanical governor lever and the stops.

Make sure the wire from my VR labeled M7-I is on the correct terminal on the Oil Pressure Gauge.
It should be on the "I" terminal, not the "S" terminal.
