My Generac Megaforce 6500 generator has no output

| I wonder if any of you nice people wouldn't mind giving a grandpa in
California a helping hand, as far as starting to check why my generator
doesn't have any output all of a sudden. The engine runs, but no joy as far
as electricity. I tried several items, just in case one electrical item was
bad. I pushed all the reset buttons on the panel, but nothing works. Is
there a hidden reset anywhere? I hate to take it to the dealer, I'm afraid
they may tell me I need a new one. Please, I mean no insult to the service
people, all I want is to check first.......The unit I have is a Generac
Megaforce 6500 --1006-1......Peter

| There should be two diodes, chances are they're bad or a fuse inline with
them is blown. I had it happen on an older generator of mine. I replaced
them with larger diodes and also placed them outside the generator in a
heatsink, so the heat from the coils & engine would not degrade them.
