Well glad you are doing better. Are you pushing the button to prime the fuel to the generator before you are trying to start it? Don't crank for more than 30 sec. If it doesn't start re prime and try again. As it hasn't been started in a while this may take several tries.

Let us know.

thanks for the input.  Went out to coach this morning.  Still getting a clicking sound when trying to start at generator.  Went inside coach and tried to start just for grins.  It started and i ran it for about thirty minutes.  I have no idea what changed.  I must be living right, Again, thanks for the help.

To me, that sounds like a corroded battery cable connection, either on the battery or genset end of the connections. Remove, clean, re-install all wiring connections, especially the ground side of the circuit.
