My sixteen-year-old 15000 BTU Penguin is causing over-voltage shut down on generator on Startup. It works and cools fine on Shore power. Onan says that it's probably a bad capacitor in the air conditioner that can be replaced. Can anyone give me some help with this please?

You should verify the ratings on your capacitor(s). Also physical characteristics.

FWIW

I cant believe I have gone all of these years not realizing it could be the start cap. I even replaced the breaker on the generator only to have it trip on occasion. Stupid me!! Thanks for the tip.
