Some of the Onan three wire gensets use the third wire to stop -- they short it to ground to cut the ignition, if I remember right. Might just need to check the continuity of all the conductors to the genset....
The other, probably more likely reason is the programming got wiped due to disconnecting DC power to the inverter -- the SW doesn't have non-volatile memory. Anything to do with 3 wire generators is likely not the default programming, which would explain why something that used to work now doesn't. I used to tape a photocopy of the settings page next to the inverter, so when the inevitable memory wipe happened the customer could easily reset the settings without a trip to the site.
