I posted an answer that should help here.

Is the house dead??? Did you turn off the main breaker in the house?? It sounds like you are sending voltage to the generator.Do you have a switch that stops the power from going down the street from your generator?? 3700 watts is not a whole house genny, you need more like 6500. 5000 min, unless you are just running the fridge and the lights. Is your "plug" wired into the fusebox through a breaker or straight to the bars? You gotta check these things out.

fuel, fire, mechanical. Miss one and she won;t run. Are you sure the gas was good? Not some old can laying around that may have turned or become water contaminated? If it was fresh gas, then take off the air cleaner and spray a little wd-40, or ether, or brake cleaner whatever is flammable into the carb throat. Just a 1 second shot is all it should need. Try and start with that. If it starts and then dies quickly, still a fuel problem. maybe a gasket is damaged, or the jet is clogged. When you said you checked for fire, you acutally took the plug out and had it grounded while spinning the motor and saw spark? If you saw a hot spark then you have eliminated fire. Mechanical not likely if it was running well a short time before. If a valve was damaged, it would still run but not too well. My gut feeling is it is related to fuel.
Testimonial: "thanks for the great help i did try fresh fuel and drained the carb bowl but still same prob its a head scratcher i really thank you for your input."

As long as you have continuity through the stator and rotor windings, and no continuity from the windings to the core, you should be good.
If the brush block was replaced due to it being defective, take a look at the diode and capacitor regulator as well. Using a multimeter, the diode should indicate continuity in one direction, infinite resistance in the other. If you get this, then replace the capacitor. If not, then replace the diode, and likely the capacitor as well.
