I couple of dumb questions and a dumb point just came into my mind. :R
1. Why does an A/C unit require more power to run with high outside temperatures ... I can understand it running with longer compressor ON cycles ... but why more watts when it is running?
2. Why does a generator care about high ambient temperatures? It's either staying cool enough to not destroy itself or it will eventually stop for good.
3. The point being: Why in warm weather would a 13.5 K A/C/Honda 2000i combination that works together (using the Easy Start kit) not work in really hot weather assuming the generator could keep it's cylinders cool enough?
