I believe it states to start with around 1.1 quarts, which is what I did.
Can it run a well like a well for home with a pump yes it can
Absolutely not. You can die from carbon monoxide poisoning. It should be in a ventilated area.
This one is gas only
You have to calculate how much amperage each appliance uses. The WGEN 7500 has a 30 amp breaker and if you exceed 30 amp the breaker will trip letting you know that there is too much load on the generator. Each appliance has a tag or manual that tell you the amperage.
You did not specify if you are having trouble starting with gas or LP? If you are having trouble starting using gasoline I would recommend using fresh non ethanol gasoline if it is available in your area, ethanol gasoline that has been sitting for a while goes bad quickly and can cause all sorts of issues with the carburetor. There are many factors that may be causing hard starts, stale fuel, ambient temp, mis-adjusted choke, altitude just to name a few. My suggestion would be to call Westinghouse tech support and see if they can help you troubleshoot the issue. Good Luck!
Flip the breaker on the generator
50 amp max at a time. You'll trip the breaker on the generator

The battery indicator light being illuminated indicates that the battery is connected and providing power to the electronics. It is normal that the light is not illuminating when the charging cord is plugged in, as this is not the function of the light. Please be assured that this does not mean the charging cord is not working.
