I bought an 11,000 BTU Portable AC. It will start and run with ECON mode OFF. I can start it with ECON mode OFF and then flip ECON mode ON. If it cycles, it kills the generator. The watt meter shows around 950 when running. It read 21A as the max pull and about 8.9A running. I'm not sure how long it run on a tank. My other concern is that the Portable AC is large.
I turned the idle screw up just a pinch. It might give it just enough to start the air conditioner. I did that to both of mine and each starts a pancake compressor and an electric power washer on eco mode.
How many amps do they pull? I might try that.
It's been awhile, the pancake air compressor has an in-rush current of approximately 30 amps. I can check in a couple of days. Work schedule is tight.
