Is there anything that does work? Do you have a test light or voltmeter? If you have a voltmeter, start by telling me the exact voltage you have across the battery terminals.

Nothing has power. Test light Battery fully charged new terminal connections. I am thinking fixable link or bad ground. It turned over once now nothing.

Turn on the head light switch so current is trying to flow. That is just to make the results of the defect easier to show up.

Measure the voltage on the output terminal on the generator. If you have two black/orange wires in a plug on the side, it is critically important that you never remove that plug. Back-probe next to one of the wires. If the voltage is missing there, tighten the soft copper nuts on the larger studs on the starter relay near the battery.
