Looks like the AC Voltage Regulator may have died. Quite common.
Grab the -24 TM and run thru the appropriate VR tests and report back you findings for each step.
There were two different VRs and associated parts used in the sets. Be sure to use the correct test procedure.
If you get the Generac or Honeywell make sure the 3 small fuses in the bottom of the black control box are good. Had a customer pick up an ATS and it had bad fuses.
The 831 SLC100 Governor Controllers (GC) are extremely failure prone. That's why I make and sell a reliable replacement.
When you move S1 from STOP to RUN the GC is supposed to put out a brief pulse of power to the actuator to pop it off the magnet. Very likely it's the GC that failed...
It appears in the generator picture that the OP gauge is reading quite low. If you have 45 PSI (I assume using a mechanical gauge) then I suspect an issue with the OP sensor, wiring or gauge. Correcting that issue will make my Remote Start then know the generator is running. If you need help...

The 200 amp runs about $800.
Sounds like you desire a fully automatic power backup system utilizing a Remote Start, an ATS and your MEP.
I offer a complete system to use with a low cost ATS. Besides being a complete system it also has WiFi connectivity so you can monitor all the MEP operating parameters live (gauge...
