AZ_Ron,
I had this Generator from Harbor Freight. I won't run your A/C - I have a 13.5, Coleman Plus. I've switched off all the other breakers and still had no luck. The unit is adversited as 15 Amps per 120volt outlet and 20 Amps for the 120/240 outlet, but I can't see how it would work based on the wiring (as shown from the Schematic!).
I actually built a box around the unit to quiet it down, added a muffler, and put in fans to cool the unit down. I as able to muffle it down to about 69dbs - but at what cost? The sound deadening material which is what they use in sound studios is expensive, the box was a pain to lug and took two people and I couldn't run my AC.
Sometime next month I'll be getting either a Yamaha or a Kipor that'll run my AC and be quiet.
