Though our gen does run AC, if anything else on it can bog gen so should help with that. Make unplanned repair an upgrade, hopefully
What did you end up doing??
Ordered replacement 50/5 uF start capacitor, temporarily transferred wires from old cap to new one to verify that was the problem and AC started up like new, both fan & compressor. Fixed!
So removed the tin box that holds cap & took to shop. Slight modification to it to fit new capacitor and also add a CSR U1 5-2-1 compressor saver (cap).
While the replacement start capacitor fixed the Air Conditioner, the addition of the 5-2-1 cap just amazes me. When the compressor kicks in there's virtually no loading of the generator. No real audible indication that compressor has even started, it just starts cooling. I don't have means to test load but Gen doesn't grunt for a few seconds, no loud hum from AC while compressor tries to start..
Replacement start cap $20, 5-2-1 cap $38.
