Flash the field windings , it's lost the residual magnetism that it
needs to start the generation process . I had the same problem with a
Briggs unit a few years back .

sounds like MABRR it was shut down under full load? That sometimes
collapses the kagnetic feild causing the generator to faik to
energize. Flashing often fixes this. Shutting off loads before
shutting down the generator odten prevents the problem
