Yeah I have the original pulley from the original bad motor kicking around somewhere- I'll stick that on it once it's the correct size and go from there.

I'm running a 5 3/4" pully ( rough measurement- didn't take the cage off) It's been a while but from what i remember when I did the calculations that gave me around 1200 to 1300 rpm - confirmed by the pully supplier. I had it cut out at 130psi and back on at 105psi, haven't done a current draw...

The run capacitor is new also, I'm thinking Larry_g may be correct - smaller pully won't be as hard on the motor.

So I bought a 60 Gal compressor with a bad pump. It has a 5hp motor 240v. Replaced the pump with a 2 stage Princess Auto pump rated for between a 5 and 7.5 HP motor, it's Rolair pump Model # 8771792, Max rpm of the pump is 1400 I believe, I'm running it @ 1280 rpm with the 5hp motor. I use it...
