Had the same issue with my portable compressor (no start) off my old 2800I and certainly no start on the champ but then keep in mind that starting amperage on any capacitor start induction run motor is 3 times running amperage and small compressors are notoriously hard starters anyway.
I bought a little Senco compressor on Amazon (99 bucks) that the champ will start. Fine for airing up tires in the woods so long as you aren't in a hurry.
I bought older brother of
THIS COMPRESSOR about 15 years ago to inflate air suspension on motorhome and still have it in my garage as I like to use oil-less for tire inflation.
When my new truck come with build-in 400W inverter - one of the first things to check was running the compressor off it.
IT WORKS. Compressor is rated at 2 amp. It is slow, but I am not at race track.
