I really can't think of any way that this would hurt anything, other than the 
fact that it would suck in warm air from around the engine and that the FI 
would run rich due to the low electrical system voltage.

You wouldn't want to do this for long, because you would be running down the 
battery, but you could get away with it easily for a trip to the generator 
repair shop and back.
