Maybe the reason is that the excitation voltage is too low, so it can not reach 220V. You can try to adjust excitation voltage.

SOURCE: My powermate 3500 generates 157 volts on all 120 outlets and 308 volts on the 220 outlet. What could cause that to happen. I've heard of generators not delivering enough voltage but never heard of one

the governor is not set properly, good job catching this issue. also check it under a load, if you still find the voltages too high, I recommend having it serviced.
setting the governor can be tricky.make sure you mark the shaft.

I have a generator designed 440V but the problem is I can use only 220V and the 440V cannot

440 volts is normally 3 phase so unless you have a suitable 3 phase plug it will only be 220 volts

I want to hook up a 220v motor and a 110v motor with one switch

this will be interesting on one switch
110 volts motor running on 220 volts will end in a flash and plenty of smoke
and a 220 volts motor running on 110 volts will over heat and smoke as well
unless you have some form of transformer to one of the motors it is a recipe for disaster

Adustments engine speed low rpm

You cannot adjust the voltage output. All generators are rated for 110-125 volt recepticals and usually have at least one 220-240 volt receptical for special appliances that require it such as water heaters, pumps, welders, air conditioners. When one of these higher draw appliances is connected and they begin to draw amperage, the gas engine will automatically increase rpm to produce enough amps. If your generator gauge is showing low voltage such as 60,80 or 90volts for example, then you have overloaded the generator and blown a capacitor, resistor or similar item.

Hi, I recently purchased a used makita 6100r generator and when checking it out I discovered on my 30 amp 220 receptacles arent getting full power. I took out the receptacle and checked the wires in back...

You may be asking too much of the unit; the 5800 watts a which it is spec'd, may be a 'peak' power rating which may be 15-20% higher than its continuous rating. 30 Amps at 220 volts implies 6600 watts which is higher than even the peak power rating. I would expect the unit to produce ~4800 watts continuous or around 22 Amps.
Decided to check my statements and found this, which I quote:
Generator Volts AC (60Hz) 120/240 Max. Output Current 5800W-48.3A/24.2A Rated Output Current 4800W-40A/20A Volts DC (AMPS) 12 (8.3)

The generator produce onely 73 volts ac on the 120 volts plug and 146 volts ac on the 220 volts plug . what could be causing this problem

Check all wiring and fuses associated with you voltage regulator if they check ok, find a way to adjust your voltage regulator replace it. Make sure the unit is running at 3600 rpm as well and making 60 hz.

"I was welding with a

Your generator is a welder?? Yikes, the 220 volts coming out of the genny is not the same as the 220 volts running a welder, it is, but it isn't, the 220 volts used to run the welder are transformed into DC, in the 50 -150 amp range, the 220 volts coming out of your genny is 220 volts, AC, at 30-40-50 amps. Now exactly how were you welding with 220 volts AC? Remove anything plugged into the genny, check the oil, check the gas, make sure it is fresh, check the breakers, check the fuses, get it running, now don't try to weld with it again. Unless you have a big welder to plug into it and I wouldn't even do that because of the generator spikes. I might be wrong, but I have never seen a genny with a welder on it for home use.

I want to make my 110 volt generator into 220 volt

most generators have a 220 volt plug on them from the factory, if it is a small one it might not have the capabilities of 220. If it has the 220 plug then you will just need to wire the proper 220 male end onto whatever you are trying to run.

No 120 or 220 volts out put on portablegenerator motor runs good.

You should find out which wires are you excitation fields and flash them with a 9volt battery. That should make 120 volts
