Default What happens if your generator is too small?

Lets say I have a Yamaha EF1000 that can put out 9a max. (Which I don't)
And lets say my refrigerator draws 13a to start, and 1.5a to run. (Which it
does)
What will happen if I try to start the fridge off the genny?

I am guessing the generator will simply stall, with no harm to either. Is
that right?

Now for the really foolish question... Any way to start the fridge off the
undersized generator?
