Chris - Where are you checking to see if you have voltage? Take off
the cover of the reset button that is on the top center of the Onan.
Check to see if you have 120 volts (more or less) on each side of the
switch. If only on one side, press the reset and see if you now have
it on the other side. If not, you have a defective reset switch. If
no voltage on either side then it is in the rectifier, brushes,
wiring or other internal components in the Onan generator.
