Title: I need help Post by: Camel24hrs on December 21, 2007, 03:19:15 pm I have a cavalier C7 machine that has a 1/3hp compressor on it. It had a hole in the condenser and I found one that would fit it and it was the exact same size. I pulled a vacuum on it for 2 hrs. The tag on the box says it takes 10.8 ounces of R12. I put a full 12ounce can in it. My static pressure is 48lbs. When I plug it in the machine pulls the suction pressure down to 2lbs after about 2 minutes. I thought maybe I have a blockage, but when I unplug the machine the suction rises immedaitely. What should my static pressure across my system be? Am I low on freon even if the tag says 10.8 ounces?

Title: Re: I need help Post by: Camel24hrs on December 28, 2007, 11:50:22 pm I left the hoses on over the x-mass weekend and did not have one of them tight and my r-12 leaked out. I did not have anymore of the liquid gold so I put freeze-12 in it instead. The tag is right. I found a post from Eric and found what my pressure should be for the temp of the box. Working fine now.
