  If your Briggs & Stratton Inverter engine is running but there's no AC output, it could be due to several reasons. First, the circuit breaker might be open or defective; try resetting or replacing it. Second, there might be a fault in the generator itself, in which case you should contact a local service facility. Finally, there could be poor wiring connections or a defective transfer switch, so check and repair these.

Alternatively, there could be a shorted generator circuit, which requires contacting a local service facility.
