This is a well known problem with the Model 48253C966 Coleman A/C combined with the EU3000is.
I'm not looking for troubleshooting assistance but for information from those who have experienced and solved this known problem.
Just by reading your symptoms... I can tell you that a hard start capacitor won't do anything for you.
You say that the AC runs for 7-10 minutes before the generator goes into over load. A capacitor will only help for the intial surge of power required to get the AC started. It won't be doing any good 7 minutes later.
What is probably happening is that another AC draw comes on line, and that or those along with the running AC causes the overload.
Prime suspects are the fridge running on AC and/or the converter need to charge the batteries.
A converter can draw over 1000 watts. Not sure about the fridge, but I have read that it can be a lot too... It is not hard to see where the 3000 watt generator can fall short of what is demanded by these 3 draws.
