A little more info might be in order including a couple pics. Could it be two hots, a neutral and a ground? Black, black, white, green?

Put then together in the neutral spot.

Many generators run 2 hots and 2 neutrals. That's because many are 120 volt systems and a single neutral would need to carry the total current of both hot lines. Simpler to run 4 same gauge wires.

Nope, If it has 2 signal handle breakers it 's 2 hots and 2 neutrals. True 2 120 legs. Not 240 volts. Needs separate neutrals
