I started my gen. yesterday. It ran fine but no power. I tripped the circuit breaker a couple time's but it did'nt help. I ran the gen. 70 days ago and it worked fine.

Can you hear your transfer switch operate when Gen comes up to speed. May take a couple of minuets to do this.
If you have a meter plugged into an outlet you will see the transfer.

Can you hear your transfer switch operate or put a meter in one of your outlets to see if transfer is switching from shore power to Gen.

Open the cover of your transfer switch when you find it and trip the tiny little dip switch. Cut all your power first.

Just plug meter into an outlet to see the transfer and if transfer switch is operating correctly.
You will be on shore power until the transfer.
Does your Gen have two switch's on it and have they been reset?
Be careful working in transfer switch even with power off enough power left in there to blow circuit board in TS.
Your Gen will override the shore power connection into TS.
Your shore power 50 amp cord goes into the TS along with your load center and Gen connections.

So Gary what did you do and it came clear, we won't ridicule because some of us probably have done the same thing. 
At least I have, thats how I'm able to answer some of your questions.
