Yes, I manually turned the hub before letting it engage. Both pressures
appear to be steady. But I agree that the problem could be the
compressor. What I am afraid I might have done is put too much oil
into the compressor ports. I put about 3/4 oz of the oil into the
compressor and distributed the other 2 oz into the condensor and
evaporator. In any case, it does sound like the compressor has gone
bad. Any chance I can dismantle and repair it?
