No Power from Generator while generator is running

No worry, all of us were noobs at some point. I took a good blow to the head a few years back so some days im easier to get along with than others. It isnt your fault in the least. Toss in all this corona crap and thugs burning down buildings and cars everytime you turn in the news and my patience goes out the window.

hi, I currently have the opposite situation, shore power not running A/C, but genr does. if I do the switch in the ATS can I leave it that way for a while until I can replace xfer switch? thanks, local service centers are booked out for weeks.

It takes a few minutes before the ATS connects the genset, so it is not your issue here if you only issue with the shore power.

If I am in your situation, I would just by pass the ATS and connect the AC panel directly to shore power. Once you got your ATS, you can connect it back up so you can use your generator. You should also test your ATS and make sure it is defective before discarding it. Maybe one of the switches (solenoid) is mechanically welded and won't close/open? I assume it uses solenoid switch and not solid state....
