It is a start capacitor. Your generator already starts the air conditioner. The capacitor may help with voltage sagging when the compressor starts, but it can't increase the VA output from the generator.

Can you tell me why you don't think it will work?
I ordered the capacitor. I don't mind being out $19.00, but if it is not likely to work, will any harm be done by putting it in?
This recent thread gave me hope I wouldn't have to spend a lot of money, by my standard, to have a back up for a/c.
