Default Using portable generator to power furnace fan (AC/PSC motor) -yes or no?

I've always wondered if corroded connections on a generators twist-lock receptacle (that's vibrating like crazy) causes an intermittent connection.

And what happens if the generator is feeding an unbalanced load on L1 and L2 and the vibrating neutral connection is intermittent?
