Or find a good lawn tractor guy with grey hair. Onan put thousands of these boxer engines in lawn tractors. It's either no fuel or no spark. Often not the generators fault but bad aged out fuel lines or pinched fuel lines. Mine starts as soon as my finger touches the button. And runs both ACs easilly

Easy way to start troubleshooting is to see if it’ll hit off on a snort of starting fluid while cranking. If it DOES then ignition is working and you can go after a fuel problem. If it DOES NOT hit then work on the ignition - and once the ignition is working then re-evaluate the rest.
To reiterate what others have said - always always always jump terminal 5 to 9 as the very first step when troubleshooting. This bypasses a lot of common failure items on the control board and helps with the process of elimination.
