You say new batterIES on the generator, how many batteries does the generator need? Did you put in a new battery for the chassis?
He said the generator fires right up.. The generator is often connected to the house batteries and usually there are, depending on your point of view Two Six Volt GC-2 or one BIG 12 volt consisting of two Six Volt GC-2 in series (That is how you should think of them by the way... As one BIG 12 volt Answers a lot of questions if you do that)
Now to the starting problem (Which is the main engine)
Might be any of the following. but first a question:
When you let it sit and cool off, does it then re-start WITHOUT any special charging of the battery?
IF SO, you have a bad starter most likely.
Other suspects: Bad connections, alternator and battery.
Connections first (Clean the terminals, check and re-tighten grounds)
Then Battery (Cause it's easier to pull it and take it in for testing)
