tpi IMHO posted good info.
Chris Bryant as usual has top notch information.
MONITOR YOUR AC VOLTAGE. Even with a hard start kit, inrush amperage can flush which will indeed eat your compressor motor wiring.
An AC compressor motor can tolerate 105 volts and your generator will automatically die if 105 volts means overload.
When the AC is up and running try to keep it from cycling. Crack a window.
If voltage droops to less than 105 volts and the compressor is running, you have problems and need to shed other loads to keep the voltage within acceptable limits. A hard-start capacitor becomes useless when the A/C is running. Guesswork here means a highly probably flattened wallet will be in your future
