I recently purchased a 1970 40 ft morgan which has a westerbeke 40 hp deisel. I had dc power until i tried to start the engine and now have lost it. Could this be a ground issue or something else.

William W. from your pics it looks like an air cooled genset fitted with a homemade wet exhaust. I would not recommend placing this unit below deck. no way to provide enough cooling air and will surely overheat.
William P. check your connections at the batterys.
