Professor, I am not really that frustrated. I knew going in that the 2000 would not likely run the AC, and I was ok with that given we have used the AC a grand total of 2 times in the last 15 years. But I can't help messing with this stuff and trying it out for myself. :)
No need to apologize at all. I greatly appreciate your help and the help of all the other RVnet members who contribute to the forum. While this is an imperfect communication medium it is still light years better than what we have had before. I am well aware of how valuable this forum and its members are to shortening the learning curve on many RV related subjects/problems.
Anyway, I believe the fan capacitor is shown on the schematic at the very top. I think your version of the schematic may have gotten cropped some.
I had the Spp6 wired across that black start capacitor with the two yellow wires yesterday and it made things much worse over the factory set-up. The champion struggled a bit more and the honda went into over-load each time along with some not so nice noises coming from the AC.
As per my most recent post I moved the Spp6 over to the run capacitor today and it was even worse than when it was wired across the black start capacitor. Champion still started the AC but with a bit more difficulty and the honda didn't have a chance.
After that I pulled the Spp6 out completely and returned everything to factory wiring. Now, the champion starts the AC like it's not even there, and the Honda starts it without too much struggle on a consistant basis, particularly if I unplug the converter while the AC is starting.
I don't know why the Spp6 made things so much worse than the stock set-up.
