The killers are the need for electric start so the thing can start
automatically and for a UL approved transfer switch. You just

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...


But what does it end up costing once you've gotten the starter?
