Yes, I was able to pump the tank up to 150PSI a few times on Sunday, when i was working on it.

How hard of a job is it to replace the piston rings?

So now that I got my new to me compressor running it seems to be leaking oil out of the crankcase breather. It also produces a little smoke. The smoke is not really noticeable unless you are looking at the breather. I changed the oil to SAE-30 non detergent oil when I got the compressor. This...

I don't know how to tell if I have a separator, but I do have an aftercooler.

It's a QT 5 from 97. I got it for free and just really needed a new electric motor.

Please explain why you went up and down so much. That's the part I don't understand.

All the kits I see come with a lot more line then I need right now.

Ill look into that thanks, I guess another question. All the air hoses I have are 3/8 will this be a huge problem? Do I need to buy 1/2 hoses?

I was looking at http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200658785_200658785 Which from your description is filter/regulator/lubricator and not actually a dryer. I may see if I can get a desiccant dryer on ebay, but I don't have a plasma cutter right now so its not really needed. From...

Thanks, Again. The tank already has a ball value on it. I am guessing 1/2 air hose would work? Also from what I understand as long as my filter/regulator and the hose don't drop lower then the outlet on the tank, I can drain the system with the tank drain. I want two lines because sometimes I...

I just got my new to me compressor up and running its a older 80 gallon Quincy Dual stage 5HP model. I am a bit overwhelmed with opinions for shop air. Everything talks about large scale. I only have a 2 car garage. I want 2 quick connects for air hoses and I want a dryer / regulator...

Ask and you will receive. The Jacket is cutoff so I can get to it. I also went and looked at the panel and its the same, I cant see the jacket. As for the run length. Its no more then 10 ft. It goes out of the box over 3 studs then into the main house panel.

QUOTE=930dreamer;6447925]Make sure the tank pressure relief valve is working correctly. How do I do that? Also I found what I was looking for http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=156881&highlight=Quincy+5HP+Magnetic+Starter%3F The pictures really helped me figured what out...

What does the receptacle need to be up rated, the motor only calls for 30 amps and that is what it rated for? The motor does not have a cord on it. There is a picture included of the motor. It just has 4 wires coming out. I know you are trying to help, but I need you to give me more information.

The line runs to a radiator that is mounted on the belt cage, so I had to take it off to take the belt cage off. The line is just turned into the air its not going any where right now. Can you please explain more? I know the outlet is only designed for for 30 amps but the motor only needs 30...
