Make sure to find start componants for that compressor and install. Booster may work but kit is better.

Generally if you have proper voltage to board but not coming out, bad board.

What is your sub-cooling? Weighed charges wont do it!

What help did you offer?

Was it a matched system? What is your sub-cooling? How did you determine amount to "weigh in"? Is compressor running all the time it is calling? Did you install driers, pull vacuum? Do you believe it...

You sure the homeowner did that? I'd like to send him some baleing wire so her can tidy it up but I used it all for holding up flex duct!

Over 40 yrs doing this, YOU CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT I HAVE SEEN!! GONNA CARRY MY CAMERA!

I saw that used once in St.Louis. It was running from one apartment gas meter into another apartment. Very strange. Looked like a garden hose. Need to keep those gas bills paid!
