First check the brakers or fuses are still good or locked in,,,if they are then check that the brushes in the alternator are ok,,,,,
most faults are just worn out brushes,
however some times the brush box melts under the heat from a worn out set of brushes,,,,,its not often the rectifire blows unless its been over loaded

When i start the generac 15000 it starts fine but once a load is put on it it will die aS SOON AS THE LOAD STARTS IT JUST QUITS

Check the governor and throttle for easy movement. When the load increases, the governor should advance the throttle to keep the speed up.

Generac generator manual

Usually generators that have stood for a very long time loose the magnetism in the ignitor coil magnet. With care, if you can find the low voltage wire into the generator 'motor' you can apply a 9v battery briefly to it and spark it into life. Use the generator if you get it generating, for a good period and don't leave it unused for a long while.
*IF YOU DONT KNOW AND UNDERSTAND ELECTRICITY DO NOT TRY THIS. GENERATORS CAN KILL*

Generac troubleshooting my generac 14kw generator engine runs why doesn*t it produce electricity

Assuming the generator circuit breaker is on, depending on the model it could be the voltage regulator or the slip ring brushes or both. If it's a portable it could be a capacitor problem.

Generator starts than shuts down on under voltage

The problem is related to the engine. When a load is put on the generator, the engine's throttle will want to open to maintain RPMs. If your carburetor is misadjusted or gummed/varnished, when the throttle opens, you will get a fuel starvation and the engine will die. If the generator is used regularly and hasn't sat for a while, first check to make sure the spark plug is good since you don't want to make a carb. adjustment using a worn plug. After you adjust the carb. manuallly flick the throttle to ensure that the engine doesn't 'stutter' or die out. If it does, increase the gas in the air/gas mixture and if that doesn't solve it, remove, disassemble and clean the carburetor.

well I have a special flasher unit but I believe you can put 12 volts to the brushes while it's running. That should do it.
