I just converted my 4kq over today from R12 to R134 and so far I have to give it a serious thumbs
up. It gets so cold you can see your breath.. I didnt put a thermometer in front of it yet but if
you leave your hand in front of it for a few seconds it hurts!

However (Why cant anything go as planned?)....  The AC compressor doesnt kick in on its own.  To
fill it I jumpered the clutch to get things circulating and all is well.  When I was done, I plugged
it back in and it still doesnt kick in. Any suggestions on where to look first??

I went with the freon detector to see if I had any leaks, and I dont appear to so thats good news.

There is still a little bit of air bubbles in the sight glass which I usually try to get rid of, but
it doesnt seem to be taking any more freon from the cans...

Open to any suggestions.. and TIA!
