If water got into the engine portion of the genset (e.g., via the air intake), you could have a hydrostatic lock condition preventing the engine from cranking as water in the cylinder will not compress like the fuel/air mixture does. If this is the case, cranking the engine will break rings and/or cause other significant internal damage. You may want to try removing the spark plug and see if that relieves any water in the cylinder if there is a chance water got inside the genset engine.

Good luck
