Subject:89 syncro westy ac up and running
From:Mick Kalber

apparently the ac saga is complete... ac guy finally got it cooling today.
Strange part was... he says it's a 3 pound system, but it took six pounds of
freon (used R-12... Freeze-12 not available here in Hawaii) to get it to
cool.  What's up with that?  Not sure what made it start working all of a
sudden (must have charged it and evacuated it six times), but he says it was
not cooling until right up to the point when he added the last half pound.
Is that normal?  Also, he says he's still seeing bubbles indicating that it
could even take more freon... whadayathink?

Anyway, looks like we have a good compressor.
