frustration thread 13,500 duo therm ac, giving up

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV-_7ym8jjA

so here is a guy who starts up my exact ac unit with a cheapo hyndai with no problem,,, and my Honda eu2000i wont' even get it to turn over, it just hums, I am stumped, have read all posts on hard start and other stuff,

I would think my Honda would at least lug down and start it, but it's not even close

    I believe your Dometic air calls for 4000 watts of generator.
    Have you even looked to see if your A/C has a start capacitor?
    Otherwise a second Honda in parallel is recommended.

    Yes, but note his comment later: "Yes. Make sure you see the links in the video (may not show up on mobile devices.) The coils fell off at around 30 hours, and the generator shorted itself out. See my channel for the teardown video. I craigslist curb-alerted it and gave it away!?"
