SOURCE: Generator will not generate electricity.
I assume it is a hand start genset. The most common problem if it has been sat for a while is rust on the ignition timing flywheel. If you take the pullcord housing off (recoil) then you will see a big flywheel with what can only be described as a big forked prong with a couple of wires on it. This flywheel should be stainless steel and rusts when sat around for a while without use. Its job is to complete the circuit to the spark plug every time the flywheel passes the forked prong at a given spot on the flywheel, the faster the wheel turns the faster the spark hence the engine runs quicker. Clean the rust off with a releasing agent (wd 40) hey presto!!!!!!!!!!!

SOURCE: Generator stopped producing electricity
if the generator has been sitting for a while you might have to excite the magnets to start producing power. plug in a reversible drill and with the generator running turn the drill in the reverse direction by hand while holding the trigger in the forward position.
SOURCE: Wolf 800 generator. Engine will run but very electrical power is
is the engine running at the correct speed
3000 rpm to produce 50hz
3600 rpm to produce 60hz
SOURCE: Onan generator: Pro 6000e: engine runs, no
Are you getting any kind of voltage output at all?
