Does the Voltmeter and freq meter show good voltage and frequency while you have S1 in START and the engine running?
If so use the AC VR test procedure called out in the -24 TM. Use the correct procedure since your generator may have a Libby or a TRC VR. Different procedures for the two of them.
The blue box is probably the Governor Controller.
The VR is the rightmost box on the back wall. If it black it's a Technology Research Corp (TRC) VR. The other VR possibility is a Libby. It's dark green.
Looks like the AC Voltage Regulator may have died. Quite common.
Grab the -24 TM and run thru the appropriate VR tests and report back you findings for each step.
There were two different VRs and associated parts used in the sets. Be sure to use the correct test procedure.
If you get the Generac or Honeywell make sure the 3 small fuses in the bottom of the black control box are good. Had a customer pick up an ATS and it had bad fuses.
The 831 SLC100 Governor Controllers (GC) are extremely failure prone. That's why I make and sell a reliable replacement.
When you move S1 from STOP to RUN the GC is supposed to put out a brief pulse of power to the actuator to pop it off the magnet. Very likely it's the GC that failed...
It appears in the generator picture that the OP gauge is reading quite low. If you have 45 PSI (I assume using a mechanical gauge) then I suspect an issue with the OP sensor, wiring or gauge. Correcting that issue will make my Remote Start then know the generator is running. If you need help...
The info is in the -24P TM

If you like you can ship it to me. I can test and repair it for a nominal charge.
PM me if you decide to go that route.
It's a small module about 2" x 2" located to the right of the fuel tank. It reads the float switch's and controls the Aux Fuel Pump and the Low Fuel fault circuit.
