Your reefer might be old enough to be sensitive to level. Make sure your unit is as level as possible, run it overnight on electricity with a few things in it, like water or soda cans, and some ice cube trays. Should all be cold in morning, and ice made or nearly so. If not, you have a problem. Replacement units are not cheap, but how much do you want to spend on repairs on a unit over 20 years old (assuming it's original)?
As to generator- do you plan on installing it in the location set aside for a generator, or carry it out back or somewhere else? If it's to go in the gen area, size constraints may drive your choice more than anything else.
BTW, I strongly recommend the electric start (yes, dear, I'm a believer now). That way, you might actually run it once a month for a few minutes to keep it in shape. Although my Kipor 3500Ti starts easily with the recoil, it starts even easier with the electric switch. My old Coleman (please excuse the foul language) 5000ER would start with recoil, but not easily.
P.S.- Keep Ember glowing. If SHE ain't happy, ain't NOBODY happy.
