I did some quick research on this and found multiple people who blew up the compressor on the AC unit using a 2000 watt or 2200 watt generator. For a 13500BTU AC, it needs something like 2500 or 3000 watts to start and 1500 to 2000 watts for sustained use. I believe the Honda 2000 on provides 1600 watts of sustained power.
I think a 2000 watt or 2200 watt generator is undersized for this task and if it does start the AC, I think there is a substantial risk of damaging the AC unit. JMHO and YMMV.
