I tend to test by putting in just enough to engage the pressure switch. On my 85 that was a good idea since I quickly noticed the high side was too high and the low side was ... low.
I observed foam in the sight glass (the color of the oil!) and that the line going into the side of the accumulator was much hotter (30 degrees) than the one at the top. I have a new one going in tomorrow. -- John W Reames jwrea...@comcast.net Home: +14106646986 Mobile: +14437915905 On Jul 18, 2010, at 22:33, "Kaleb C.
