You are making this awfully difficult.

If you are going to empty the system and suck it down, then put the right fitting on it.

If not, put enuf freon in it to get to 40 psi and forget about it.

LOL!!  :rofl:

Sorry Steve-its one of those "teach a (stupid) man to fish" things.
Thanks for you patience - Charlie and Ed too.

Your irritation has probably saved me at least one 3 hour trip fetching the wrong parts.

I owe many cold beverages all 'round

Dave, once when I was younger, I had a guy working for me that could not make a decision.  I got mad and told him to flip a quarter-heads or tails- to make the decision because if it was wrong, we would soon know it and go the other way.  But, at the current rate, we were doomed to be screwed because we had done nothing and the clock was ticking off dollars as we procrastinated .

For the past 25 years, people have reminded me of that conversation.  I still have that tendency....I think the medical term is "s**t, or get off the pot"

:D

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

I admit, however, that I tend to research the heck out of things until I am convinced I know what I need to know....thank goodness for google

My engineering team include both extremes , one guy who wants to do a "study" every time and one guy want to machine parts NOW.

They both manage to piss me off so I believe (contrary to forum opinion) I'm actually in between.
