Honda EU2000i or A/C issue. Help
I bought a 2007 Outfitter Apex 8 about a month ago. Last week I got a new Honda EU2000i so I can run my A/C on the Texas Beach. I've only been able to get the A/C to start 1 time out of 20 tries. It's...

Back to the original topic, as I wrote last night I install a Supco Hard Start Cap. and that didn't work either. So today I spoke with one of my A/C subcontractors about the issues I am having. I'm a Residental General Contractor. Anyway they suggested to check amp draw when starting the A/C on shore power and to check the voltage drop on the generator. I did both and found some interesting info. Attached to shore with all appliances off the amp reading was .03. With the A/C fan only running the amp draw was 1.7. The max amp draw with the A/C starting was 23.1 amps. Then maintained 7.1 amps.
So then came the voltage drop from the generator. With the generator running (not on Eco) voltage was 127 volts, upon A/C start up voltage dropped to 65v, then 30v, then 15v, then 3v, then the generator died.
If this is the norm I don't know how anyone gets by with this generator.
Now maybe there's something wrong with A/C causeing such a amp draw, I don't know. Now keep in mind this a 2007 Polar Cub. The previous owner said he never used the A/C because they live in Denver and always camped in the mountains.
I did reconfirm with Bob at Outfitter today that this is a 9200 btu unit. He recommend taking the generator back and trying another one. I may do that tomorrow.
If anyone has run across this issue and has had success with a cure let me now.
Thanks Tim.
