Check the plug/socket from the gen set control wiring harness to where ever your start/stop switch is located.
On our Quiet Diesel 7.5, the connector is fairly close to the gen set.
You could also have a bad switch. You can also remove the start/stop switch and manually simulate starting the gen set by shorting the appropriate wires on the rear of the switch.
You didn't tell us what make/brand but I know for sure that Onan uses a ground to start or stop them.
Quick way to tell if you are missing a battery positive is to look at the hour totalizer meter, if its running, you but B+, then look for a bad ground.
Sounds to me like a low battery which caused a relay to fail to close the circuit to start the genset ... the switch did not work before the battery was charged a little ... worked after it did ...

Does the switch on the generator bypass the relay for the inside switches?
