Can you change a 50Hz gas or Diesel generator to 60Hz?

I suppose you could if it was originally designed as a 60Hz unit and
modified to 50Hz for the export market. Could be as simple as
tweaking the governor setting from 1500 RPM (50Hz on a 4-pole
generator) back up to 1800 RPM.

Problem being, the export units might not be wound to put out 120V
or 120/240V 1Ph or 120/208V 3Ph. They'll wind them at the voltages
the export market usually wants - 240V and 240/415V.
