Just bought this pressure washer for $20. The motor is a good 2hp baldor. He said the pump was bad. It's an admiral pump rated for 2 gpm at like 1400 psi. The company is out of business so I don't think I'll be able to find parts? Looking for a replacement pump called a cat dealer and the pump...

Tony actually helped me with this same problem and his solution worked out great. Here is a picture of the tool I made with a little guidance. The metal is just a spare key way it fit perfectly

Oh hey, that looks a lot like it. So the guy says he doesn't see any tags on the pump so how would I best find out what it is? He said it builds pressure fast still but its leaking oil. Just wondering if the pump is worth fixing or am I just after the motor xD

Going to pick up this air compressor and I was wondering if anyone can identify it.

So is there any reason to go farther into the pump or get the new spring change the oil and call it good? Again thanks for the help I was devastated I bought this compressor and didn't check it out well enough. I then called a Quincy dealer and he said usually it's cheaper to replace the pump...

So the side that was oily had the 3 pins with there springs which were all good but there pushing down on 1 bigger spring correct? That one is broken. It also doesn't have a crush washer like the other side. So I need 1 new valve and a crushed washer?

I would say they moved freely both fell out as soon as I moved the top

Okay unloaders came off pretty easily what exactly am I looking for? There is a bit of rust in the top part. On the botto. Part one is clean and the other is oily.

Okay, I took off the top line it built pressure to about 25 with my finger over the line I didn't feel any air. When I turned the compressor off then air came out of the line.

I'll try that once I get home. It doesn't have a gauge for oil pressure unfortunately. Any other way to check?

I bought a 1968 quincy 230-33 air compressor it built pressure at the guys house but I was in a hurry and didn't check how high screwed up there. So I get it home only built up to 20 psi. Next day tried it again and it built to 100 psi where the shutoff is. Drained it till the motor kicked on 3...
