Take it to ur local auto parts store and they will check the charging system and starter for you free of charge but first check battery cables for corrosion and make sure they're tight. This is a very common issue.

Make sure battery has a full charge. If battery is very far down, don't use generator to charge battery. Use a battery charger. I agree with other person about battery connections.
