Well that's discouraging, seems to have made the situation worse.
The Champion has always started this AC even without the hard start capacitor and it did so again after the SPP6 was installed with really no change in effort detected based on how much the Champion drew down in rpms/sound.
The Honda 2000 on the other hand will not start the AC at all now, where it did intermittently when testing yesterday. Now it chokes down the honda and makes clicking noises from the AC and sort of runs slow for a very short time before sending the honda into overload.
Yesterday (before SPP6) much to my surprise the honda started and ran the AC but I could not get it to do so reliably time after time. It even started the AC in eco mode one time.
Ambient temp yesterday was 68 and it's 78 today.
OK - like I said no harm will come from the wrong wires.
Since the yellow-yellow in #2 did not work you must have the circuit in #1 with the timed motor start relay. Therefore go with yellow-red for the supra6. That should work. No idea what the time delay is - probably something like a minute. Fan starts first then when the time delay relay hits the compressor starts. This is good for a generator as it does not put the load from both motors on at one time.
In the schematic the start capacitor appears to be "optional", but your photo shows two caps, so the one in the dashed line area is there. The back capacitor is the compressor based on the wire color.
