Need generator help

I have a generac generator and it starts and runs just fine but no power to the breakers. It worked just fine last year but when I started it this year no power. I have no idea where to start looking for the problem. Thanks for any help. It is a 95 Damon Intruder, 5500 watt gen.

    The first thing to check is the circuit breaker on the generator itself. If that is OK, make sure the cord is securely plugged in. If your rig has a transfer switch, make sure that is working. Also, make sure your battery voltage is not too low. If you can, check the AC voltage output directly at the generator. If it is indeed starting smoothly and not producing any AC output, there could be a loose wire or a problem with the voltage regulator.

    I'm not real familiar with that gen . Have you checked for a breaker on the gen or checked your output wires from the gen with a multimeter to see if the gen is making power ? I would start there to see if its the gen or farther up in the trailer.
