I replaced my accumulator because the old one rusted out and put in a new orifice tube. I recharged using a set of manifold gauges and while running after about 10 minutes with ac on max I'm getting a reading of about 44psi on the low side and about 240 on the high with an outside temperature right now at about 89 degrees. Does this sound ok? I'm feeling I might be a little high but is it a big problem if I am? Thanks for any input.
 






Thats a little high unless you are running a VOR (variable oriface tube).. But its not tremendously high. You should be close to 230, but I don't think a "little" high is going to hurt it. .
