That’s what I would think also, but I have verified the voltage is correct. I can double check. I wired the outlet myself, and verified by my uncle, who is a commercial electrician before I closed it all up. I’m confident in my wiring but it’s always possible a mistake was made.

No leaks. I haven’t had any pressure loss in 24 hours.

Just measured and the compressor pulley is 16.5” edge to edge, so I would imagine the surface the belt rides in is 16”. It has a pretty large lip. It seems from others in this thread, and yourself, that the motor is not correct for this pump, so I’d rather swap out the motor for the proper one...

I have just verified that there is 240V at the pressure switch on both sides of the switch, as well as at the connection to the motor. So, I guess I need to be looking at the bigger motor, eh? I have no problem getting a different motor. I upgraded the pump head in the middle of this project...

Ok. I’m back home and going to head out with my multimeter. Discovered mine was toast, so I had to run out and grab another. My Vevor pump is the 5 HP SPL. This is the exact spec of the original Century AO Smith motor that was in my compressor when I got it. Yes, the pump was upgraded amidst...

I don’t have one, but can pick one up if it comes down to needing that.

yes, it is running in the proper direction. Thanks for checking!

Pulley on the motor is 5.6”. Not sure of the compressor til I get home and can measure. Have not confirmed 220 at the motor, but I have no reason to believe there isn’t 220 at the motor. I can verify with a multimeter tonight.

It is wired up to 220V with 10 gauge wiring and a 30 amp double pole breaker. The motor is a 3450 RPM motor. I’m not sure of the actual compressor pump RPM, but it is stated in the manual that it should be 1180 RPM with a 5.6” pulley (which I have). The only other thing I can imagine it being...

I’ve been lurking on this forum a long time for research and info, but just joined today because I have an issue and just can’t figure it out! I bought a used 80 gallon, 5 HP, 220v, single stage compressor from an auction a while back. It was advertised as fully working and when I got it wired...
