Escape from L.A.

Understood. Thanks.

It seems like Dallaswho offered a reasonable explanation. Cycling power quickly will cause the compressor to start against a higher head pressure. Probably not the best idea if the compressor is already struggling.

I would want to know why the tech had to cycle power at the air handler.

If the tech lets the unit sit for a few minutes, the refrigerant pressure will stabilize at the saturated pressure. Thus making it easier for the compressor to start.

My $0.02.

Full Load Amps

I bought a new 2017 220LTS with factory installed Yamaha 200 4cyl. It was not enough motor for that hull. I tried everything (props, motor height, etc..) but still had a slip of 20%. This was the re-designed hull that was supposed to be faster.

I sold it when kids wanted to hunt rather than fish.

I still can’t believe the factory specified and installed motor wouldn’t get bow out of the water. Original prop was a 21p. I called Triton and they told me that was the correct prop (full throttle achieved 4000rpm). Yamaha shares some blame as I don’t believe that motor makes 200hp.

While I would own a Triton again, I’d explore more options before purchasing another boat.

It’s actually Ice Hole Coolers.

I bought the 18 can soft cooler. It has been great for use on my 4-wheeler: fairly priced compared to Yeti, green for hunting, has attachments loops on side for securing to rack while still allowing easy access.

Other things to consider:

I assume you have one dedicated return (where your filter is). If you leave doors closed, you can starve the return duct of air flow. The return will then pull air from the attic or from outside (thru leaks) to make up for the loss. I’ve tested air velocity leaving my supply registers and there’s a substantial reduction when doors are closed.

I’ve also seen poorly installed ductwork. Flex duct that is pinched, duct exiting the end of the plenum, etc.

First the capacitor was replaced. It worked again for 24 hours and stopped again. Then they replaced the motor outside and again, it worked for 24 hours and is now working when it feels like it. Sometimes it comes on and sometimes it doesn’t.

What only comes on sometimes?

The condensing unit (outside) has two parts that run. Visually check if the fan is running and listen for the compressor.

It should be obvious whether or not the inside fan is running.

Popeyes

Typical experience:

Went to one in Ferriday two weekends ago. Multiple cars in drive-thru asked to pull forward and park. I wait impatiently as employee brings me my order. I can tell it’s not my order and inform the idiot. She looks at SUV driving away and says “dat man jus took yo order”.

This person has no concept of taking responsibility and just like a large portion of the population, she believes everything wrong in her life is someone else’s fault.

From a quick internet search, bluish smoke indicates that a motor is burning oil.

I would do a compression test. Most auto parts stores will sell a kit for performing the test.

You’ll be able to identify if it’s cylinder/piston/rings or a valve problem.
