Hey, Not sure if this is the right thread to post this but I'm sure someone will tell me I just picked up a new Lincoln 140 MIG welder. I'm planning on using it with gas setup and wondering if any of you have used a portable generator for power and what sort of problems I can expect. I'm told I need 20A at least and I don't have many outlets to choose from and the ones I have are likely 15A Any input would be appreciated Thanks

I ran my old 140 amp, 110 volt mig off a generator a few times with no problems.

I use mine off the generator all the time and its only 15A circuit.
