I think you are low of refrigerant due to a leak somewhere. You should use some dye to locate the leak, fix it, then vacuum and recharge the system. You might consider having your mate's mechanic do this. Depending on where it's leaking, you could have him identify the leak, then you fix it, and have him evacuate and recharge if that saves a few $$.

This thread has gotten so long and convoluted that I have long lost track of what's what.

If your running pressure is 65/140 then yeah. But if the LOW pressure side is getting down to 10 psi before the compressor kicks off, it's low on refrigerant. But if you say it's turning off at 65 and on at 10, something is NOT right. I think you meant that it's OFF at 10 and ON at 65. If that's the case, it's simply low on refrigerant.

And yes, it has got a little away on me... Sorry about that!

I think I read somewhere I can just try tighten that port as first option.

Yep. That video tells it all. It's just low. Follow the previously posted pressure chart for the associated ambient temp and add some refrigerant.
