no electricity

Why won't my Briggs and straton 5500 generator generate any electricity?

Main breaker is off, GFCI tripped, out of gas, .... there could be lots of reasons ...

How long has it been since you used it?

It's also possible that the field needs a little "kick start" if you haven't used the generator in a while. Run it at full speed with a load on it and see if it comes back after a few minutes. If you have a volt meter on the generator and it is reading very low that it a good indication that the field lost its residual magnetism.

It's probably broken.

Isn't this a little too technical for this forum?

Well, I wanted to put as much effort into my reply as the OP did into his question. I figured that was only fair.
