Will honda 2000 start a 15k BTU air conditioner?
I need a new a/c. All the tech can get is a 15k BTU unit. I currently have a 13.5k BTU unit. Will the eu2000i start a 15k unit? What if I install the EasyStart?

Kind of weird that some can run a 15k off of a eu2000i and some not.
not really weird. a lot depends on the AC, temperature, and density altitude. AC inrush and running current can vary enough to overload a honda 2000 or be just fine. And then there is the outside temperature which affects AC running current and density altitude which takes into account temperature and RH and affects the engine output and hence generator max current output for the honda 2000. High temp and high RH at sea level can have the same effect as running at a lower temp and lower RH at 3,000 ft or higher.
And thus a 2000VA generator bounces between "almost adequate" and "barely adequate" depending on the above variables.
