    Portable A/C Unit....Gauging Interest

    Does hard start kit allow you to use eco idle? I have a Ryobi 2300 generator and a 6000btu ac it does not cool on eco idle but when I turn eco idle off it cools fine. Ended up plagiarizing your idea with home depot components to get to where I could cool tent since my AC is to big for your...
