It would stand to reason that the V-10 starts quicker (fuel injection) vs the genny (carburetor).
Sorry Jamie, I must have not followed your point entirely.


The other option of course is to eliminate the generator altogether and let the engine do its job when necessary. Granted there are regulations/ordinances that may limit running the engine as a generator, regardless of how misguided and or inappropriate they may be. I'm liking that approach but it's expensive and may limit where and when you can use it.


By the way, I haven't owned one, but it seems some newer generators are fuel injected. Maybe they start quicker -- don't know.
