It could also be your fuel pump if you have the primer when you hold the stop button down you should hear the fuel pump.
Update: Not sure if this is the problem, but the Manual talked about a Fuel solenoid that has a fuel shut off valve so husband undid the screw from the carb. and gas poured out. So he ordered a new solenoid and fuel filter.
It will take a few days to get here. If we are lucky we will be cooled down again. I tried to see the hours on Genset but it will not light up I guess unless Gen is running. And I am a bit confused Kelley are you talking about the house battery which is under the step or a battery on the Generator? I did not know there was a battery on the Generator?

Thank you all
As for the battery all are a little differant can you tell which battery your cables run to from your gen. Some trailers have a battery just for the gen some work off the house batteries. I would unhook all the batteries and try to load test them unhooked your only testing one battery at a time. The problem with the multimeter is you may a top charge on it and show good that's why you need the load test or a way to take a little of the charge off and then read it. It's just what I try to rule out first.
