i tryed reeciteding , as was suggested early no work, it is capable of charging , but it won't stay with it, it's a 5k watt 110-220 volt brushless genator, i'm not sure how to check the rotor out

In a brushless generator, the rotor is essentially a permanent magnet. Sometimes it will lose magnetism and you have to reexcite it.
Measure the DC resistance of each 120V winding. With the engine off, use an ohm meter to check from neutral to each live line. It should measure about 0.2 ohms, essentially a short circuit for each winding.

If the unit is running it could be as simple as a circuit distribution problem within your panel. Check to see if there is voltage on the main lugs where the breakers are and if not, you have a problem in the generator set it's self. Small units like a 5 kw are motor/generator sets that are tied to each other within and if one is running so is the other. You should have lines coming out of the generator set that are live when the unit is on and this is where you need to check voltage. If there is none, you likely have a problem in the generator set windings and is probably not repairable without a complete rewinding done.

did you check the spiro gyro and announce the decapitor?
