I'd run your plan by a generator pro to make sure it flies.

Aside from the CO, there's the potential for back feeding into the utility lines. The ONLY way to guarantee this does not happen is to install a transfer switch for a couple hundred dollars. Yes, you may understand the importance of disconnecting from the main. But what if someone else cranks up the genset, forgets to flip the main beforehand and ends up electrocuting a utility line worker? Murphy's law is a bitch.
