Put a measured vacuum on it and see if it leaks. If it leaks you put a little freon in and fire it up, using a "sniffer" you find ALL the places it leaks. Evac it again (saving the freon). Fix whatever is leaking, test it with the vacuum again. Repeat as (if) necessary until it holds the vacuum. put your old freon back in, (through a scrubber),(or recycle the old and buy new),top off if necessary and away you go. Good luck Ron,
