My little (300cc) single cylinder diesel genset ...

I've no idea what engine size the 7kVA generator was, but it started on
the handle ok. Too much force required for a pullcord. I expect less
than 300cc.

My genset is only 2kVA... For a 7kVA set I'd expect an engine over over
1000cc. You can get a lot more umph into a handle than you can a
pullcord, just keep your thumbs out of the way. B-)
