Bad compressor???????

[old refrig guy]

Hi All
I have a Luxaire home air conditioner. I had a leak at the sight glass...I took it out of the system..vacuumed the system to 28....It held 28... over night...charged it the recommened 4 lbs 6 oz..worked ok for one day..the next day..the low side was in a vacuum..the high side was reading zero..it still has a full charge!!!! It balances out at 125 on both sides when off..when turned on..it goes into a vacuum on low side and high goes to zero...
My question is do I have a restriction or a bad compressor...is it possible to have a compressor suck and not create head pressure..I did do a test..the ***** does flow thru the high side filter and thru the cap tube??
I'm puzzled..any info would be much appreciated

How did you test the filter drier ?

I think the filter is clogged.

have u tried removing the charge and doing a pump test on the compressor?

The compressor is fine the problem is in the system:)

Expansion device or drier. If it was me I would decant, blow the capillary out and change the drier:)

Kind Regards Andy:)
