Welcome to the Forum.
Is there a shop in your area that sells Emglo equipment?

Emglo was bought out by Jenny 20 years ago. I am hoping someone actually has one and can send me pictures of the connection to control the engine when the pressure gets to its max. setting.
does it have the kick down solenoid on the tank ? it's air operated to a small piston on the engine governor ( that is for an emglo with a wisconsin robin engine) , I imagine Honda is the same. I no longer have the compressor.
send pics of the engine governor arm and the tank inlets .

Sorry for not getting back, I couldn't figure out how to respond till now. My Pictures show 3 places that would have possible connections. I don't know how they are to connect. When I bought it I was told to just replace the bullwhip, but they are made with a wire inside on what I have found. If that is what I am supposed to use, it won't connect to either the cyl. head or to that little piston on the back side of the engine. Bed time here, will look for posts tomorrow.

I can't tell much from those pics .
my compressor had the air pump going to the unloader valve. when the tank reached pressure, the unloader valve would open, send some air thru a 1/4" od line to the engine, where it activated a solenoid to throttle the engine down to idle. any excess air was bled off at the unloader valve . when the tank pressure went low to about 100 psi, the valve would close , close the air to the solenoid, it would close, and the engine speed increased

Would you have had a 1/4" line off the pump head going to a tee at the Conrader unloader valve and from there continue on to the motor solenoid? I have spent a lot of time looking for pictures of my Emglo unit.
It has been hard to see on the pictures I have found on ebay, Jenny's (bought out Emglo) site, and Craigslist.
Thanks for your help.

I can't remember for sure, but I don't think so. pretty sure it was as I described above .
Is it possible yours might have been originally set up for electric with a pressure switch & an unloader?

It is a factory made gas powered unit and has the Emglo emblems on it. There is a Conrader bullwhip, that has the end broken off, screwed into the pilot valve. I'm adding a picture of it taken apart.
On one of the pump heads there is a tee and one side is plugged off. I'll add a picture of that too.
