this makes sense... did your compressor get really hot? mine starting to cook, and the coil coming from the condenser as well....

Coming from GA to KY might be the problem... elevation difference maybe?

Compressor that get super hot are out of tune and working very hard. Its like sitting in a car with your foot on the gas and reving it up. While a well tuned car traveling down the freeway just cruses along just fine.

What makes them do this ? To much pressure or operating in a vaccum which is prolly the case. This is done at times to get much better load handling but at the cost of reduced life span of the comp.

All comps get hot, that is not a problem, but super hot means its running in a vaccum, I think anyway.

My SS from Jinu and Kals 2 stager, never make flood back noises and make almost no noise while running. Kals 2 stage comp does get warm and a fan on it is all it needs. Its nothing to worry about tho as its in temp range. But the loudest thing on his 2 stager is the first stage fan on the condensor. Metal fan blades tend to make more noise.

Hmmm... might need to bleed it a little then and see what happens.... If that doesn't work... I'll have it leak tested.

Running in a vacuum does what? How is that corrected, at least enough to get this thing running better?

Only way to fix it is to tune propper.
