XR17 with no LRA history until
tech #3 : May2021: LRA = 73
tech#3 (2021) wanted to sell me a hard start kit (I declined; he said "it's only going to get worse")
tech #4:May2022: LRA = 81.13 (stage2) (stage1=64.18A)
tech#4 (2022) I request doing all the usual tests in both stage 1 and stage 2
BTW, it never starts in stage 2 as far as I know except setting the XL-824 tstat to test mode, stage 2; it runs in stage 1 (Y1) around 99+% of its run hours overall (only more than a blip in Jul/Aug)
QUESTION 1: Is the compressor getting harder to start - in a bad way?, or
QUESTION 2: Is the measured 81.13 A just about where it should be, according to the (attached image) faceplate?
OAT was 85F. Inside WB was 59.7F.
