A good start.
I found this http://www.propane-generators.com/wireless_remote.htm
Unfortunately, there isn't very much detailed information or a true wiring schematic, but this might just fit the bill. One of the wiring diagrams shows how a simple negative pulse can fire a relay to turn the starter over.
Beyond that-
It does have "On/Off", which appears to be triggering a safety valve for propane. If this output is constant, it could be used with a relay for the psuedo on/off on the generator. If it is just a pulse, a 'latching' relay would have to be employed.
It then has 2 auxilary outputs, but gives no information about them. If these are negative pulses, they could be used for choke on and off. A simple phone call to them would likely clear it up.
This pretty much sums up what I have been proposing (with a car alarm or keyless entry system), but at what appears to be a much lower cost.
Bottom line-
If the onboard battery on the electric start models is 12V (again, I don't have one), almost any hurdle can be overcome and it can be done remotely.
Nuff said.
