both gas and diesels need to be primed, but sometimes the time is little since the generator was run more recently, or the outside temps are warm.

my diesel Onan QDRV6000, which pulls diesel from my coach's fuel tank, can take 30 seconds to prime/start, or it may start right up, depending on the circumstances.

if you compare it to the 'old pull start lawn mowers, you can see that if you haven't started the mower in a while, you may take a few long pulls to get the fuel into the carb, and the engine 'warm' enough to get the spark to make 'fire'. If it's been cranked recently, it may only take one easy pull.
