I could list about a hundred possibilities. Air, fuel, spark - if you could narrow it down to which one seems to be deficient at the generator itself (I.e,: saying the propane tank is full doesn’t mean the propane is getting in the generator cylinder) that would lead to better answers to your problem.
If all else fails, clean the carbon out of the exhaust muffler, and check the oil.

Oil is good and arrester clean out needs a functional engine to work.
