Installing a new capacitor in my Coleman A/C
I'm installing a new start capacitor in my Coleman A/C (model 8335D8764). The capacitor is the Supco SPP6, which seems like a pretty popular option. I went up on the roof of my 5'er yesterday and to...

I am very interested in installing a Supco SPP6 / SPP6E capacitor mod for easier starting of the AC. I currently have a Honda EU2000i (not the companion) and if at all possible I'd like to have the Honda run the AC with no other loads running. If not possible, then I'd still like to install the Supco if there could be a benefit at a later date when I'm able to acquire another EU2000i.

The question is, what Supco unit would I install in this unit, the SPP6 or the SPP6E, and would I remove the existing PTCR/Capacitor start kit? If so, how do I identify those existing components that will be replaced?
The SPP6 is functionally identical to what you have already*, so it would give you no advantages. The SPP6E is different, and might allow the unit to start- in ideal conditions- on the 2000. The EU2000 will always be very marginal, however, and it will always be running right at it's max output (remember, it's only a 1600 watt generator at sea level to begin with).
* The SPP6 is probably higher quality, and it is not unusual for the PTCR devices they used to use to burn up.
