Questions,
Has the genset been sitting for a while ?.
Has the genset been shut down under load many times ?.
The genset has to produce AC first, before the ignition system of the engine will keep on producing ignition, so when pressing the start button, your by passing that function until you release the start button.
Normally it could be the brushes not making contact or the gen part failed & if the genset has been shut down under load several times, it could be the regulator messed up & needs replacing.
Either way, what evers wrong, contact "Flight Systems" for questions or repair parts, because they will be way cheaper than going the Onan parts or repair route.
The Flight Systems replacement regulator, is rebuildable, where as the Onan you got to replace completely.
