Ariens Model # 985054 Internet # 206883961 5,000-Watt Gasoline Powered Manual Start Portable Generator with Subaru EX Engine $400 [homedepot.com]

Personal note: My 11 hp pressure washer and my 13 hp generator are both honda GX steel sleeved engines, are both over 10 years old and start with 3 pulls after sitting for long periods. I have no experience with the generator portion of ariens machines above. The Honda engines in my opinion are hard to beat.

Best price I could get was at electric generators direct for $900.
Hope this helps.
