Will a 2.8 generator run a 15 amp electrical motor?

costco had 2 really nice ones last night. 1 was honda engine powered, I think 7000 watts, $1000. the other was I believe champion model 8000 or 8500 watts, $700 i think

lots of generators on craigslist, decent stuff, decent prices.

Just some examples, coleman brand, couple honda's out there @ decent $. Yamaha, if you're not needing portability, a couple of Onan gensets from motorhomes out there.

just like mine: $275, another listed there for 250.

Another solution to motor start load currents is to build soft start modules for them. It is not to hard to build them yourself if you have some electro-mechanical abilities. This also extends the life of the equipment both on the generator and load system side.
