Wattage or voltage?
Could be your brushes are worn out. Especially if no voltage is produced.
Also it could be that the generator needs to be repolarized. I have done this and its easier then it sounds. I will try to post a link for more information for you.

fuel burns ,engine turns, gene rater turns because it is connected to the engine, generator field is a magnet which spins inside the generator, brushes pick up the amperage from the armature and deliver it to the output terminal. the problem is sometimes the brushes are worn or stuck,other times the armature is grounded or has a rough finish due to arcing. the only other part needed to be checked is the regulator.

If you know how cars recharges the battery then you can figure out how the generator works. Maybe the belt have snapped.

Difficult to do from a distance. First thing to check is the fuses and/or circuit breakers. Then look for loose wiring. Beyond that, would have to have more info.
