I got me a 5500 watt generator, a NEMA L14-30, and I just found a roll
of 12/2 in the basement cause there isn't one of those items available
for a hundred miles in any direction here. Yep, the wire is gone at
well, everywhere... Yes, even the contractors supply But I got 250
feet!

Anyway, wish me luck.. Later...

Luck!
12-2 is good for a 20A circuit. It'll do if the run isn't too long.

Yeah, 50 feet wired direct to the water pump. Not going to feed the
whole house until I can get a LE to come in and check the final
hookups.. Have to look into the codes and such first but it looks like I
will be set at daylight...
