The motor doesnt get vey hot at all, f thats an indicator of anything- Any suggestions on how I can check to see that the valves/rings are doing what they need to be doing? As I said, there seems to be a fair amount of air being pumped out of the head-

Okay Gentlemen- I defer to experience here again. Compressor pumps fine. But just runs on and on and tank doesnt exceed 45 psi. I pulled the line off the head and it seems to be pumping an adequate amount of pressure from the head when running. Could I need a check valve? I should mention before...

Thanks All- I used a copper tube (3/8" soft tube) and its working great now.

I have race deck- the second garage I have used it in. Love it- and it's a great idea on a cloth underlay for sound and feel- Also- my garage doors face mid day sun- when the tiles get hot, they buckle up a bit because I didnt leave enough space at the door jamb area- my recommendation is to be...

Definitely a little top heavy- in fact alot top heavy!, but I dont plan on moving it much. Will refit the new compression fitted copper line tonight and give her a whirl. Need to sort out why the unloader valve seems to keep open after it reaches the set tank pressure. Maybe the line on the head...

Good catch- Its actually a steel braided type plumbing fitting- the type you use to connect a kitchen faucet to the hot and cold lines- and it blew out today! I am going to use a proper high pressure hose (something rated 300psi or better) with barbed fittings and hose clamps- hopefully that...

Greetings all- New here and love the site. In an effort to do away with as many modern, cheap sounding effects that fill the air in my shop, I wanted to rid myself of the oil-less compressor for obvious reasons. I mentioned this to my buddy John while we chatted at his shop and while we talked...
