2KW is simply NOT going to start a 13500 AC! U'r AC requires about 22 amps to start and runs at about 12 amps. Very simply...Power(in Watts) equals Current(in Amps) times Volts....ie; 22 amps X 125 Volts = 2750 watts needed to start the AC. Your Honda eu2000 is probably rated at 2000 watts SURGE(MAX) and only about 1700 watts run.
