I have a Generac GP3300 portable generator. It has 1 120/240 30amp RV receptacle and 4 120v 14amp standard receptacles. What I want to do is change the four standards from 14 amp to 20 amps. Under the covers it has 2 14 amp breakers. the 120/240 is wired to both the breakers while the standard outlets are chained from the 120/240. The wiring is 14g.

Here is the information about the motor.

Mine is the 208cc model UP170.


Now, I already figured I'd have to switch all the wiring from the breaker to the receptacles from 14g to 12-10g. I'd also need different breakers. But what I need to know is whether or not I need to switch the wiring from the motor to the breakers from 14g to 12-10g, and if there's anything else I'm missing.
