I may not have been detailed or clear enough in my orginal post. I did not turn off the inverter and I have no idea if my AC has a hard start capacitor. Ambient temp was approx 73 degrees. Once the AC was on and I had the lights on, fridges on,etc. I left the AC fan running but turned off the compressor. I then turned it back on. The generator stumbled for a brief moment but smoothed right out. I did it 2-3 more times with the same result. Quite frankly, I never expect to put that kind of load on it. If I'm somewhere without hookups the main fridge will be on propane and I won't have everything going at one time. I wanted to see what it could do, especially after reading quite a few posts in various forums from naysayers that claimed this make/model wouldn't be able to run my AC.
I have to admit I was shocked when it started on the first pull. I added the oil and fuel, turned on the fuel valve, pulled the choke and fully expected it to take several pulls to get fuel into the carb. I couldn't believe it when it started immediately on the first pull.
