The hot side of the receptacle read 67vac.
The neutral side of the receptacle read 67vac.
Then I read between the hot and the neutral and got 124vac.
I checked my Champion 4000W inverter generator.
I got the same readings on the 20A receptacle AND the 30A RV receptacle.
BUT plugged into the rig, all the appliances work fine (except for the 1450W Whirlpool microwave).
All they need is the potential difference of 120vac to work.
NOTE: I do NOT have a bonding plug.
A bonding plug connects ground to neutral. You can buy one or make one if you need to have one.
I do not in my case.
I think I know what is going on in your situation, but to be sure,
Measure the receptacle output of the Honda generator.
Check
Ground to hot =
Ground to neutral =
Hot to neutral =
Do the same thing on your parallel kit with the generators connected and running.

Your 4000W gen should run a microwave. I had the same issue with my Champion 3400. All worked fine but the microwave overloaded it. Connected my EMS and it showed an open ground. Made a G-N plug and the problem went away.
