    My Taco A/C just doesn't cool very well when still or moving slowly. Being that the airflow though the condenser is directly related to the engine RPMs, I'm thinking about adding a condenser cooling fan. Any recommedations?

    Someone in another forum suggested I check the freon level - is there a site window on these systems, or do I need to depend on pressures?

    Yep. Don't guess it, don't put too much in either. You may damage your unit in the long run. I wouldn't do the fan thing. Imo

    Its most likely the lack of fan speed. Convert to an electric fan setup. Pretty easy. I did it using a 16" puller fan and a honda thermo fan switch I had lying around with an override switch inside for the a/c on hot days.
