Onan 8KW No power into coach

Yahoo Message Number: 90970
Hi Guys!

We're back in home base and I have a generator problem. Fires up good, runs good, no power to coach. Breaker on gen reset. All 120 Distribution breakers fine that I know about good. For a time, if I would restart the gen and let it go through startup routine, after 3 or 4 tries it would send power to coach. Now 10 tries, no power. I am currently hooked to my home 50 amp service.
Question, does anyone have or know here i can get a troubleshooting tree for this kind of problem?

I would verify the generator has output, measure voltage at generator breakers. Then go to the transfer switch. It has probably failed.

Check the voltage on the output of the breakers on genset, if you have voltage there check your transfer switch.

If you don't have power to the transfer switch, red and white wire, look for a junction box between breakers on genset and transfer switch. My wire burned all the way trough on one leg and a few strands left on second leg.
The wires were connected with large wire plastic screw caps. My junction box is just past genset wall, on passenger side. Good luck

Ron says check your voltage regulator. Happened to our PowerTech earlier this year. New voltage regulator and all is well.
