Did the usual add 134 and it was low, got up to ~40psi and the clutch started to engage and disengage 1-2 seconds at a time for 4 rotations then would never cycle on again. Figured it was the pressure switch, so few days later installed the new pressure switch, checked low side pressure again and same thing clutch would cycle on and off 3-4 times then nothings.
If I let it set for an entire day and then fire it up it goes through the same clutch cycle pattern then nothing. Only way I can get it to go through the cycle pattern again is if I let it sit for at least a few hours.
Anyone got any ideas? It was originally only a little low and since I charged it its held pressure fine. I did jumper the pressure switch thinking maybe the new one was bad and no change. It isn't stuttering/jerking and when it does energize it goes instantly to full rpm so I know its not the clutch itself. I did a ton of searching and only solid lead I could find was maybe the orfice tube?
