I just busted out my EU2000i for this thread. I haven't run it in 8 months. Warmed it up and started the dometic 13,500 brisk air circa 1999 and it fired right up with a small dip in rpms. Then cycled it off and put it on econo mode and turned AC back on. Took about 1-1.5 sec of throttle up and then ran fine.
After the AC was running I switched to econo mode on gen and it only needed about 1/2 to 3/5 throttle to run the AC on high.
Of course the temp was 75 and at 1400 ft and will probably use more power at 100+ degrees.
Btw, no hard start cap on my unit till it comes in the mail tomorrow.
