Generator only used twice. Oil level is good. Generator motor runs good, at correct rpm's. Used yesterday, generated at 110, then dropped to 57, now no power from any plugs.
You need to trace out the power wires the come out of the genset. They will end up on a breaker. With a volt meter measure both sides of the breaker. If one side has voltage and the other side doesn't, then your breaker is opened. Press the breaker in closed to see if it actually closes. If it don't then you will need a breaker. However, if no voltage is being produced, it is possible that the voltage regulator let go.
Check out this video. It will show you how to test the AVR and alternator.

I think cccayers means no power from the outlets/recepticles. I have the same problem. Runs great, no power output from recepts.
