As for getting the system to take the 134, have you jumped the low pressure switch? I had to do that to get the a/c to take a charge.

If you have weak A/C and are changing over to 134 then I would change out the orifice tube to a 134 orifice tube (although unless the tube is clogged with debris then I don't suspect that it is part of your current charge problem).

Although the systems are somewhat different, I found the air conditioning section of the 700/900 FAQs had some very helpful information when I did the retrofit and recharge. Check it out at:

Hope this helps.
