Years ago we used VFD's to get around the starting current with motors. Typically a motor that has a running current load of X will draw six times that at starting (locked rotor). So your generator is capable of running fine once it can get by the starting current. The VFD's were inexpensive and worked fine.
The problem with the huge inrush of starting current, trips out the gen set. Easy fix with what is available today. Good luck. (VFD means variable frequency drive).
