Soft start capacitors
Should every ac have a soft star cap installed? If so, why don’t they come that way? Is there any downside? Thanks

My Harbor Freight generator (2500W) (2200 run) would not start the Coleman 13,500 A/C on my Jaco TT. I bought a Supco hard start capacitor from Amazon, $6.95, wired it in according to the instructions to the run cap, turned on the A/C, nada, wouldn't start. So, I wired it into the start cap, turned on the A/C, voila, started right up without a whimper from the gen. Ran it for 30 minutes with no problems so I guess I'm good to go.
