a/c in the 91 80 has not worked since i bought it about a year ago, never r=
eally needed/wanted it till now, so i ws changeing the nasty squeeky belts =
last night and i figureed while the bumper was off, id piss with the a/c. h=
ooked the machine up to it, evaced, pumped some 134 in it ( it was already =
converted ) and still nothing, light comes on dash button, fans come on, id=
le goes up and down, but clutch does nothing. so i grab my screwdriver, and=
 kinda bump start the clutch, little cloud of smoke,( dont know if it was f=
reon or rust dust )  and bam, its running !! ran for a while and shut off, =
almost like cycling, but never came back on. did the screw driver thing aga=
in, and it ran. so my questions are, is anyone willing to be straped to my =
front bumper ( ill use the long black wire ties ) so you can jump start my =
clutch ?? and do i have a rusty clutch that cannot make a magnetic bond by =
itself, or just a junk compressor ??                                       =
