What size generator would be needed to run this?

Two questions: How many watts to start the compressor, and how much to
run it?
Well, it is 14 amps at 117 volts... So you do the math:
(14 X 117) = ?
(and a starting factor) X 2.0 = ??

Given that generator ratings are gloriously optimistic, I would want
5KW minimum on a hot and still Carribean night...
