Wondering if I should just buy another generator and run in parallel for full 50amp service or install a hard start capacitor/micro AC.

Champion 3500/4000. It'll run the AC and fridge. Might not at high altitude.
Have you gotten rid of all other electrical loads - IE the fridge and hot water? Might try shutting down all breakers but AC as an experiment. The 3500 will not run the fridge, hot water, and an AC unit.
