Onan 4kw Emerald I generator will not crank

I bought a 1987 motorhome with an onan generator in it.... the guy told me it ran last year fine and this year they went to start and it would not crank. He replaced the mother board($130) but it did not fix the problem. Batteries are good...I have tried starting when plugged into house...gas tank is half full in camper. It does not make a sound when I push the start on the generator or remote start. Batteries do not show a load when start button is pushed. Any ideas? Generator ''looks'' like it is in good condition.

Thanks in advance

The gen. is not the problem, the engine start circuit is not functioning. You need to look at the starter solenoid and starter.

Check all the ground wires and make sure their not broken or loose. If the wires are good next check the neg. Wire to the coil. Too check the swiitch make sure you have continuity too all the post when the switch in the on position, this requires removing the switch.
