While 10/4 would certainly work and would give you minimal losses, if you are only running a single i2000 putting out 120 volts you really only need 10/2, it...

Sorry for over-spec'ing it. At 12 AWG it's only a couple of volts drop. So, even with motor start current, it'd be ok. So, is the generator going to connect...
