Just to make sure we're using the same info, I just did some measurements
I did 5 Start - Restart Cycles and timed everything. Times are + or - maybe 5-10 secs. I first started the timer when I started the engine and then figured out that the compressor starts 5 secs later. But you'll get the general drift.
Ambient temp 88F
Resting Pressures Hi and Low 101#
1st start Engine Cold for 24 hours, all restarts are immediate
1st Start Low= 50 High=225 Compressor Cutoff=110secs No FAN
2nd Start Low=58 High=220 Compressor Cutoff=115secs Fan on
3rd Start Low=55 High=225 Compressor Cutoff=115secs Fan on
4th Start Low=58 High=225 Compressor Cutoff=110secs Fan on
5th Start Low=52 High=210 Compressor Cutoff=115secs Fan 0n
The aux fan usually triggered on at 45-60 seconds.
The compressor sounds a little noisy for the first 45 seconds after it starts then quiets down.
I can measure the air gap, just need to figure out where to take the measurement. I had cleaned the hell out of the motor to get it better to work on so the compressor is pretty clean. I can clean it some more though. The belt tensioner I can't really figure out how to get tensioned properly since I don't really see a pointer. I also don't notice the marks moving when you tighten the tensioner, even though the belt gets tighter.
