Have you checked the generator mounted breaker? I don't know exactly where it is on a BFA, but on my Micro-Quiet 4000 KY it is somewhat hidden from sight.

I'm not sure the BFA has a circuit breaker. There is a "breaker box" in the parts diagram, but it does not appear to have an external switch or a high-amp trip mechanism.
Can you check the genset output voltage at the wires that energe from the genset? It has a junction box on the genset, or you can find where the wires feed into either an auto-transfer switch or a receptacle and test for 120v there. If you connect the genset by plugging the shore cord into the generator outlet, you do not have an auto-transfer switch.
It occurs to me to ask if this is a new problem on a genset that was previously working, or if you are new to the Onan and don't know how to get power from it?
