Your welder needs 20A at 120V for full output. This is 2400W, but you should always add a little extra margin, so I would recommend a 3600W generator.
Need to know the input amperage of the welder.
When you refer to a 200 amp welder you are talking about the output side of the welder. What you have to do is find out what the input voltage and current of the welder is to calculate the size of a generator needed to operate the welder.
Generators are rated in watts or kilowatts. The formula for watts is W = Amps x Volts. To size a generator for the welder the voltage of the machine must be stated.
No, unless you can set it low and can be assured that it wont use more than say 4000watts, the welder might momentarily use more power than what you set it to, it should not wreck the welder i would imagine unless it is a fancy mig welder or something, set the welder low you should be fine but for high end use she should be firing out 8 or 9kw so keep it low if you must.
Check the nameplate on the welder, if the voltage that runs the welder is 240 volts then the two black wires connect to a 240 volt supply and the green wire connects to the ground of the supply.
In order to answer, you have to describe the problem in detail. OR ask a welding supplier rep/salesman.

A welder generator can be purchased from several online retailers. Northerntool website has generator prices ranging from $1,500 - $27,000. Depending on a person's criteria for purchase. Their number one best selling Welder generator cost $4500.
yes
No, the output voltage is too high.
no

To find the wattage needed , you multiply amps by volts. In the case of a portable generator you need to find the running wattage. most generators display peak wattage in large numbers on the top , or frame . this is not suitable for welders, which may exceed this for longer than the gen. is rated . You need to look at the actual tag that shows running watts and specific voltages.

what year is my welder code 9527 serial 294586c
We used Lincoln SP135 in our classroom and the students couldn't kill them.
NAPA Filter part #1056 will cross reference to Fram PH8172. In my case I'm applying it to a Kohler engine in a Lincoln Electric Welder/Generator Ranger 250.
