No I'm not in disagrement with electrical engineers. The OP has not said what kind of transfer switch he has. It might be one that switches the ENTIRE panel input from gen to utility rather than some of the panels CB outputs as per Reliance type.

He also needs to clarify what gen he has as it may be a 120V vs 120/240V type which effects the neutral wire amps. The Onan QDs below 8K are 120V.
Neither of these are really important. Even if the generator only does 120VAC, you can safely connect L1 to L2in the cord connecting connecting the generator to the house. Everything will work (up to the limit on the generator breaker) except for 240VAC items.
I was a EE.
