Yeah, the generator is making -0- noise when I try to start it. Tried the main control panel, the switch by the steering wheel, and by pulling off the Onan front cover and pushing the button. In doing that, I also verified the priming light never can light either.
Chassis and house batteries are all nice and topped off.
Thanks for the suggestion on trying to get power directly to the starter post. I’m going to hit the internet for some diagrams/manuals to assist me and see.

Here is what starter look like. It could be your issue.

Simple to see the positive post ( red) take some nice heavy gauge wire and connect to your input 12v source that you confirmed is 12.75vdc and run straight to this post. BE SURE Disconnect switches are off until you are ready to test. You don't need it to actually start but you want to here it go yank yank trying to turnover.
If it works you have bad switch or corroded wire from switch to starter.
If it stays dead, no sound, you have bad starter. Sometimes you can tap it lightly and it works, but even if it did, I would get new starter.
