    High super heat , high sub cool

    Recently I attended a complaint that only room is getting 26°C only. ThenI checked a Ac Lennox 2Ton R22 SYSTEM FIXED Orfice
    Liquid line pressure - 305Psi
    Suction line Pressure - 78Psi
    Liquid line Temperature - 119°F (Near Condenser)
    Suction line Temperature -83°F(Near Condenser)
    From Eveprator Air flow Temp -67°F
    Return Airflow to Eveprator Temp -79°F
    Compressor Ampere little high
    Outside Temperature - 108°F

    Can anyone tell what is the issue?
    .
    I Changed orfice piston 059 , I flushed evaporator Unit

    Close ll service valve, pumpdown if possible, manually run condenser fan motor till pressure stabilizes, compare saturated temp to ambient. Should match.

    Low charge.

    108 outside? 79db inside. Wet bulb id take a guess at 63...

    Should be about 1 degree superheated not 30

    I released gas and vacuuming, recharged gas . Still Ac is working same as before. Could it be due to excessive heat load?

    And could it be due to scroll compressor failure?

    I wouldn't expect "a little high" amps if it wasn't pumping. If you block off the condenser does the suction climb?

    You have a very high compressor ratio, so the compressor is working well for now. As Ksefan mentioned, you could try lowering the fan speed till you get 18 to 21 degrees difference between supply and return.
