When you say won't turn over do you mean it won't crank, or it cranks but will not run?
There are two kinds of Clicks the Generator makes
One is a single click when you push the button. This is the starter solenoid and if it clicks but will not crank.. You have a bad connection or a low battery. I have this problem with the main engine on my RV, it is a bad connection due to be fixed tomorrow.... I hope.
THe other is a click, click click click click.......
THat's the fuel pump. and if it clicks continusely check your fuel gauge
In this case the Generator will CRANK but will not start.. WHY. well 1/4 tank for the main engine is usually "out of gas" for the generator.
Why do they do this? SO you can DRIVE to the gas station of course.
