I have an 84 Westy.

 

Two+ years ago, I changed out all the AC lines, condenser, receiver/dryer,
valves, O-Rings, oil, and charged with 134a. (retained condenser, cooling
coil, and compressor).

 

The system worked wonderful, only needed to add a � pound of 134a last
summer to get ice-cold air again.

This spring, the system was working pretty well, but when I attempted to add
134a, it didn�t appear to take it.

Now, it isn�t cooling.

 

When I hooked up the gages, upon removing the cap on the high-site, I
noticed a leak from the Schrader valve.

The compressor clutch is engaging, and the compressor is turning, but the
system doesn�t seem to be holding 134a.
