On the suction line from the compressor to evaporator, the schraeder valve seems to be low in the port making it hard to hook up the gauges or charge. I've installed two new valves, but with no results. I did solder on a small dot to raise it up, but the results were marginal. It just doesn't seem to get depressed enough to charge the system.
Any ideas, short of replacing the line?
EDIT: I've tried 90* adapters, etc. but they hit the hood.
