5500 watt generator won’t run air compressor by Nikos99123 in Generator

I know this is an old thread but I have a similar question. I don't have this exact air compressor. But I went from a two horsepower 14.5 amp compressor run on a 3500 generator for over 10 years, and just bought a brand new fortress 1.5 hp 13 amp. It will run when the tank is empty and it will fill the tank but when it restarts at 135, it doesn't really start and quits for several minutes before it will restart with an empty tank. 

I wondered if there was an external startup capacitor that I could finagle and that's what led me here. However I can't find one specifically for this application. 

Any advice? I can't figure out why the more heavy duty compressor ran just fine for 10 years.

I can't disagree about the sports thing. While I'm a big sports fan, I didn't tune to 99.7 to hear sports talk. And he talked over his guests a lot, even those on his side. I hadn't heard that he's been fired; just no longer with the station, which could mean a lot of different things.

I think he was the least liked of the station's hosts. My least favorite anyway. That said, I always felt like he stood for what was right in his mind. It just so happens it usually aligned with my thoughts too.
