You ask "will a 4500 watt 220 volt generator be enough to power a Lincoln 225 amp buzz box, it would only be needed to weld 1/4 inch mostly ,maybe 5/16 at the very most "

That being said, for low amp welding it may work, but NOT for the highest max currents. Just because its typically wired up with lets use 50 amp at 240 volt (12,000 Watts) does NOT mean you use that much energy at low amp welding WELL DUH
Provided the genset has adequate overcurrent and thermal protection, I wouldn't hesitate to try welding at low amperage and that way you will get your answer.
