Generally an 8KVA is required for reliable welding - there are substantial transient loads when welding which smaller gensets don't generally like. It also gives the electronics in the inverter a hard time, so wouldn't try it again if I were you.
If you need to contact me please email [email protected] - thanks - Gav.
I bought a small inverter welder from Bunnings that i take away with me on trips "Just in Case" and i find that if i use 1.6 rods the 3.5 Honda genset runs the welder with ease

I had one of those $99 Chinese generators which I used to power lights and the camping fridge. It gave sterling service for nearly 8 years until the bearing on the engine side of the alternator died. At that time Aldi were selling a four stroke set for not a lot, about $200 comes to mind. This has also given trouble free service for nearly 7 years. A bit of a lift over the side of the trailer though. Quite heavy. Both units ran on the literary smell of an oily rag.
I gave the Chinaman to a mate who had acquired an identical unit at a garage sale. It wouldn't start so he made one out of the two. Still chuffing along.
