Dometic AC Hard Start Kit
Bought a new 13,500 Dometic Brisk Air AC unit, but my Honda 3000 has a difficult time starting it. Anyone had experience with Dometic's hard start kit & did it solve the hard start problem for you?

Once down to 3000 ft or so with the same temperatures no problem, it will run the ac all day long.
Now, at 4500Ft and 100F, the little honda 2000 is probably running at or near max output with the AC on.
No doubt - according to Honda the EU2000i's stock #62 jet should be good to 5,000' but nevertheless Honda still expects ~ 3.5% decrease in engine horsepower for every 1000' of elevation above sea level - that's ~ 15.75% @ 4500'. Between 5,000' and 10,000' the main jet should be changed to a #60, above 10,000' to a #58. At 10,000' though that still can't overcome a 35% loss in engine horsepower. However, the larger EU3000iS with more horsepower to start with should handle the task of powering a Micro-Air equipped 13,500 BTU A/C. :)
