No ac power from generator

My generator is surging so I pulled the carb and cleaned it and checked the floats and needle valve. The generators engine was surging and I was getting 110 power till I pulled the carb. I checked all the brakers. I was getting 110 power to the micro wave and two of the plugs but not to the plugs to the TV up front and two of the plugs up front. I changed the main braker because it was bad. Now I can't get power to any of the 110 plugs. Any ideas?

OK I have the Generator running good so I checked power at the gen. I have 110 going from the gen to the main power panel. I checked the breakers at the power converter and found some tripped. I reset them and the power converter shorted out. The breaker for the receptacles was tripped again. So now I need to replace the power panel and I think I must have one (or more) 110 receptacles that have a short. So you electricians out there am I thinking right on this?

this is the converter that is in my motorhome (1997 Damon Intruder)were can I get a replacement?

The first and the formost thing suggested is to turn off the main power switch and put it back on. make sure all other swithcer arre off as well. only on la swithc to make swure you have to power should be on. if it dosent work and then you my friend have to go circuit by circuit. chekc them individaully.. GFI can also be the factor.

Any breakers on generator? Are they tripped?

Turn ALL breakers OFF (main CBs and individual circuit CBs) then push hard back to ON position

If that doesn't work.......
Time to get out volt meter and start checking.......
Got AC voltage at AC Panel going to Main Circuit Breaker?
NO....then check at transfer switch
Yes...then start testing all circuits downstream

Suspect:
gen breakers
transfer switch
loose wiring in AC Panel
Is it time for your medication or mine?
