Most Onan's will not stay running if it is not producing AC voltage.

They also will not stay running without a battery connected to them.

There is an AC breaker at the machine itself.....near the start stop switch....below or on the side of the rocker switch.

Start there....is it on ?

Next would be to try and find a place to check for AC output voltage as close to the machine as possible. Maybe a connection box is accessible near the machine.

You need to verify if the problem is the generator itself or a connection issue down stream from the generator....

If the generator is running and has no AC output downstream, I would get at the back of the breaker....

There is a plastic cover behind the breaker and the panel is removable...

I have seen those breakers go bad but usually not like this.

Don't assume there is no voltage there with it running......Electricity can kill you...…..

I wear rubber gloves a lot just for the added protection.....be safe testing it....

Yes I will be at MG and usually park along the tree line in the big field.....

If you cant find the trouble I am sure I can find some time to take a look for you....
