Thanks for the great overview of the hard start kits. When I was researching generators I found this web site:

Link

Which has a picture showing his Fluke meter reading 22.6 A for the startup current of his tiny window 5000 btu AC unit, and a running current of 5A. Further down the page he shows his camping trailer's 13.5 Kbtu AC drawing 11.5 A running, but he doesn't show it starting up with the Fluke meter. That would have been neat to see. Interesting stuff. I can start up my AC with the Yamaha 2400 here at 5000 ft so long as I don't try to restart it shortly after shutting it off. The startup Cap would be pretty cool.
