Default OT- Small - Automatic - Generators...?

The killers are the need for electric start so the thing can start
automatically and for a UL approved transfer switch. You just don't
find electric start on very small generators--in the low capacities
they're made to be portable and adding electric start adds weight that
reduces portability.

I found it kind of interesting that our cheap ($500) 5.5 Coleman generator has a
casting on it for an optional starter...
