My understanding is not all generators of the same wattage are built the same

I got the micro air for my 13,500 AC hoping to run it off 1 champion 2000 watt inverter genny
Turns out the champion 2000 watt wont run it even with the microair, but honda 2000 yamaha 2000 etc will

My champion is a lower level 2000 watt genny and it just cannot do it, but several people are running microair with honda 2000 and have done great

Bascially you get what you pay for

If i had known this would probably have gone the microair route and 1 honda, i may sell these 2 champion and get a honda

That being said i have had a few champion gennys over the years and been pleased with them and pleased with customer service, availablity of parts/repair manuals etc

If you are happy with the genny you have maybe just getting the microair or a hard start capacitor would work

My suggestion is you go that route to confirm with microair that your genny will work
