    Hello everybody, I was wondering if anyone could help me on this problem. I have a 2006 Thermoking Tripac Yanmar 270 that I just recently added A/C to. A brand new condenser, drier, condenser fan, and hoses. Everything runs fine with the A/C off, but once the A/C compressor kicks on and the condenser fan turns on, the engine starts to bog down and run really rough but doesnt come to a halt. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thank you very much.

    Sounds like a weak alternator possibly?

    I replaced the alternator as well, my apologies for not stating that. It was a thermoking original part not an ebay one

    Has the fuel filter been changed?

    Sounds like the injection pump governor is going bad

    Possible bad compressor if it wasn't changed or high head pressure.Do you know how much freon was charged in the system
