Generator running, not producking Elec.

I have a Onan 4000. It has run and produced electricity for about a year. At least since I replaced the carburetor. It is still running find, but not producing any electricity. I tested at the generator plugs and no voltage.
What should I look for or take it to a generator repair shop.

Did you check the circuit breaker that's located on the generator?

Check this quick video to see where your breaker switch is located. It’s a quick fix most times. Let us know.
