Only thing I can think of is that getting it wet would have grounded it. So check wires and make sure ground is good

Finally got to working on it. Put the zoom zoom carb on. Had to get new battery. Runs ok.

I figured that for under $40 the carb couldn't be that good, but I didn't want to put a lot of money into it so I went with it anyways. It came in today so Ill let you know if that takes care of the problem.

What did yours turn out to be? I have that exact same problem. The intake boot was cracked so I replaced it. Then I couldn't get it to start. Cleaned the carb quite a few times but no luck. I just ordered one of the zoomzoom carbs. Waiting for it to come in to put it on.m

haven't been on in a while. that really sucks that it wasn't just the clutch and that the compressor was locked up.

that was two months ago. I don't remember. i'll blame too many bud lights while I was working on it. or too many since then. probably both. i told the Yamaha dealer what it was doing and what my readings where and they had me try the spark plug boot.

before spending all the $ on parts, have you ohm'd the coils to test if they are bad? ignition coil. orange to base .36-.48 ohm spark lead to base 5.44-7.36 ohm charging coil white1 to white2 white1 to white3 .70-.86 ohm source coil...

curious if you got the clutch on and a/c working?

low side pressures should be @40 - 45 psi. high side is going to be reading higher than it should since the car is parked and air isn't moving as freely through the condenser. should be reading in the area of 230 -240 psi. hope that clutch does it and you get your truck back.

hopefully that does it. I think it will. you may also have to adjust the refrigerant charge some after it is running. off the top of my head you should be @35psi low side and 180psi high side. i'll post you a more accurate after I dig through the van and find that stuff

I don't think you can test an automotive relay. it's probably a little inch by inch box. they are only like $12 at autoparts store. or door locks or something non-vital may use the same relay, just swap them out

clutch should spin freely until you turn air conditioning on. then it should lock to spin the compressor pump. that's what appears to be your problem, the compressor pump isn't spinning.

i would't think orifice tube. that is the expansion valve (changing refrigerant from high to low pressure) if your clutch isn't engaging then your compressor isn't running so nothing in refrigeration system is doing anything. the whole problem seems why the clutch isn't engaging. all I...

it was a whopping 52* here today and I thought that was warm. temperature and pressure are related. being 100* the refrigerant would be somewhere @ 150 psi. you don't see the clutch engaging, I'd go back to the electrical. fuse, relay, switch or even the clutch. wish I could be of more...

thought of another thing. are you sure the clutch isn't engaging and compressor not running? a bad compressor can run static (high and low side equalized). you vacuumed the system and recharged. did you dump the charge into the high side or low side? a compressor is a vapor pump. not made to...
