All piped in and ready for run time…..

Thanks, only thing i could come up with is maybe whomever borrowed it used a extension cord not rated for the electrical draw. So gonna pipe it in and start getting some miles on this unit.

Shut off and kick on working perfectly. Just did that to empty the tank and check it for a 0 to 150 psi run up…..it was flawless

Thanks everybody for all the comments. It was the 7.50$ part that fixed the issue. Got the new breaker and installed it. Fired the unit up and ran straight up to 150 psi, popped the pressure valve…. Back down to 0 and repeat of the start up….straight back up to 150 psi….. pretty sweet compressor...

Circuit breaker is coming first, then couple days later the run capacitor shows up… I will try parts as they arrive and see if it fixes the problem…. Last item would be the regulator but even then I am out like 50 bucks././total. Maybe someone adjusted the presets out and that is why it is...

Well it appears that Saturday may be delivery day so thanks again for all the information and then we can install a couple parts and see what we have… so far only 25 bucks in…

Circuit breaker replacement is on the way. Reaching out to see who has a meter that reads micro ferrets …. Next

Yeah I need a meter the will read micro ferrets and I don’t have one!

Yep that switch is working correctly. I clearly see it pull the contact over to switch to the working capacitor and with out the load it will run until I shut it down. I also pulled the top of the cylinder apart and checked the valve plate assembly, it barely looks used. I think at this point...

Ok circuit reset is 25 or so bucks…. Might they that first

I ran it at my friends house on two circuits and my house on 3 circuits one of which is 3 feet from the panel… same result.

The motor is actually pretty easy to turn by hand! Clamp on? Not sure what you mean there

Yeah I have run it off a couple different circuits in my garage… same result!

Not that good with the electrical stuff. How do i check the capacitors, they look intact and are cool to the touch! How do you tell if the centrifugal switch is bad! I would think if the input pipe disconnected from the tank and the motor keeps on rolling for minutes that those would be good...

That is the question? Trying to figure out what is tripping it. If I loosen the tube that goes from the motor down to the tank, it will keep on running.?

You are correct! It will run for about 20 seconds before it pops the circuit breaker on the back or the motor. If I keep resetting it and running it continues to build up pressure, I have ran it up to 50 psi to check the tank and valves. The gauges are correct, the unloader valve does its job...

Ok so line disconnected it keeps on running, no problems…..took the line off up until the check valve on the tank and it is clear…. This is crazy…. Maybe the check valve, but why would it kick the circuit breaker on the motor?

Yeah I ran it until it kicked and reset a couple different times and built pressure up to about 50 psi and has not dropped yet

Sounds normal, have not ran it with the line disconnected yet. Two capacitors on top of the motor. See photo …
