At least one
I have a similar spec Champion generator. Works really well for my use case of running a 5000 BTU window air conditioner in a camper when off grid. Very few problems with it.
You'll have to come up with a solution to pull a long exgtension cord (I see a couple decent 12/3 cables on sale at SD right now) in from outside, depending on how far your sump is from the nearest window, or hole-saw in one of these guys: https://www.amazon.com/NOCO-GCP1-...009ANV81S/
What you're looking to do will absolutely work, and I've done it (painfully), but if you're truly only looking to keep your sump pump going, which is an intermittent thing, a battery is especially convenient. Another thing to consider is how to charge it if power is out for extended time. Up in Western NY here we tend to lose it during big winter snow storms and our extra-muddy early springs (wind storms have been pushing trees down a lot since ground thaws early now). So if you're in a similar situation, I don't really recommend solar since it tends to be either overcast, or white-out snowstorm. To charge up I'd recommend grabbing a slick deal on an el cheapo generator, the smaller the better for convenience.
Trying to give you the best advice based on all the mistakes I've made
With a battery to run your pump and a smol boi generator to fill it up you would be well-covered during storm. Not to mention you can conveniently charge up phones and bring it over to fridges & freezers if they're starting to warm up inside. The alternative is to start getting into breaker panel upgrades, backup transfer switch, 30 or 50 amp power inlet with wires which means electricians, permits, lots of money, etc.
jadr313 is giving you really good advice here, too.
