I've had a 2400i and it had challenges running my coleman 13.5; However after I added the hard start, I was able to run the AC at up to 6500' cycling, for hours, and at 92 outside.
The problem I had with my 2400i was my inability to disable the eco mode - so it would run full throttle and I could control when I needed full throttle versus eco mode.
I did move to a honda 2000i and it won't run my ac above 90 degrees. It'll start and run for about 20 minutes, but as the pressure internally increases it exceeds my 13.3 maximum output and the generator overloads (yes, I did put the hard start kid on my new 13.5 AC unit)
your Yamaha should run at or around sea level (1000') the 13.5 you have. I would be willing to bet there is something else drawing current that's exceeding the 2400's maximum sustained amperage.
