Good day,
I recently purchased a 1990 740 B320FT (number 3 in my stable of
740's)
A/C has (in theory) been properly converted from R12 to R134A. Port
has been installed.
Pulley on compressor doesn't turn but apparently shaft does. What's
with that? Can the clutch spin in the compressor housing independant
of the shaft?
I assume this is a magnetic clutch- apply power and it grabs the
compressor shaft.
Belt (I believe) broke. It's gone for the most part but I found a few
pieces of it.
Freon is apparently gone.
I am trying to understand the Brickboard FAQ with little success.
If it is a clutch, do I need special tools to replace it?
Is it a B I zitchy job?
Better a rebuilt compressor?
TIA
