Air compressor wont start - Handmade Channel

This 2hp Forte air compressor was never cleaned, and no one oil change since it was bought 5 years ago.
Fortunately, after changing oil and some cleaning - it back to normal and still running very well!

That music,if you can call it that,is torture.

[@jameswinney7593]

I agree that less music and more descriptive words would have made this interesting. Other than not starting was the problem the switch or what. Was it really necessary to tear it all apart to repair.it if it was just the switch?

[@simondennehy1741]

I have a very similar (slightly larger) compressor with exactly the same issue and followed this video exactly ~ really expecting it to not work. The instructions here are very well illustrated, easy to follow and completely demystifies the process. To my delight after completing the steps it worked perfectly for me, huge thanks for this video.

[@jefftoll604]

1: Check reset button (on motor air filter side). 2. Check switch (substitute for known good one). 3: Check capacitor Substitute for known good one). 4: Check is power turned on. (plug in light / lamp). 5. Check Wiring.

[@thomasbrooks2662]

So what was the problem? You did a good job cleaning it. You did not say oh here's what was found to be the problem.

[@HandCraftChannel]

the problem was in thick oil because too much saw dust in the air in my workshop, cleaning and replacing oil fixed the problem with hard start and it still works fine after 2 years

[@recreacionaltelpochapa6122]

I saw all the video, what was the problem??

[@Phantoma3]

@@recreacionaltelpochapa6122, the problem is normally the capacitor. See the black cylinder at 10:30 that is strapped down with two zip ties. You can buy replacements from an electrical parts store.

[@kennethhughes3275]

That was a nonsense video

[@kennethhughes3275]

Thick oil would not stop the compressor working cleaning it would not cure an ethical problem that wasn't there in the first place the oil was like treacle and not a lot in it there was no filler cap to stop the oil blowing out the only problem was the plug was probably not in properly

[@pasdutout4690]

I do that all the time, taking apart things just out of curiosity. Recent victim, my Smax scooter. That's called Training , hey. But I'd change the oil way before it turns into asphalt haha. Nice video.

[@rabbaniabrar]

I have this project motor won't spin. Outside look dirty. When i turn on the switch it feels like the current is going through but no spin. I have the same motor but a different setup. Open it up tomorrow....

[@chummaker1]

Forget the music!!!!!! It sucks!

[@renebarkhouse5026]

chummaker1 I agree, that is shit music

[@tesladude2822]

Can bet it was electrical, no need to open compressor at all. If it gave you hamming sound on start it just means start capacitor was faulty. If there were no sound at all, probably switch fault.

[@joshhalbert2906]

Just what I was trying to figure out. Thanks

[@joserivero6376]

You cleaned it , what was the problem.

[@radicalfunkyfresh]

what type of oil do these take and how much?

[@Mk1Laser]

I agree, a waste of time its the same as my wolf unit but no fault reviled

[@lmalino695]

So, annoying music stops -- compressor starts. Very intelligent compressor.

[@moreywoods1626]

That’s a fact Jack

[@shadowopsairman1583]

Powerstrips are bad for compressors and space heaters. I'd say a pressure switch or start capacitor for this ac motor

[@yochanantov5490]

Wasted time for viewers.... . You needed to let us know more than just how to clean it.

[@shadowopsairman1583]

Either a pressure switch in black box or start cap are bad. Sometimes a check valve or unloader(pressure switch) too. This unit has a dual cap. Start and run.

[@kehindeoluwatosinchanges4605]

Amazing you Sir. Thanks for this cogent material

[@fulmaris33]

Maybe you should include a warning about going anywhere near a capacitor, far less using it as a handle for the engine block with your bare hands as you were doing. You're lucky you didn't get poked. Those things can be lethal surely?

[@N269]

Bad connection at the pressure switch - but needed an oil change!

[@jorgennorrman4023]

Nice work !!

[@ken4334]

I've got the same system and I took mine apart and I need new gasket but where to buy hmm.

[@Phantoma3]

You can buy gasket maker in a squeezey tube from an auto parts store.

[@Sroor90010]

I feel it was electrical not mechanical issue capacitor or switch it should turn on at least this is only service of compressor that s not the issue

[@HandCraftChannel]

Sroor9001 i think the reason is saw dust comes to oil inside with air intake. After this repair it was working good for a year and then oil becom cloggy again, so this problem back... may need to clean it up soon again

[@Sroor90010]

@@HandCraftChannel good luck i hope ill fix mine The problem i have no time so busy with mechanical work working on family 3 cars mine and brother and my daughter

[@HandCraftChannel]

@@Sroor90010 you can just try to change oil without taking things apart, fill with some cleaning oil first and then replace to some good but liquid oil

[@Sroor90010]

@@HandCraftChannel can i use any type of oil for the compressor if i dont have in the mean time i mean wil Automatic Transmission Fluid be ok or engine oil?

[@andrewgillis3073]

The viewer has to guess the problem, as it is never mentioned. Not even a few subtitles. All I can say is shame, shame for letting the oil go bad. I also noticed the video never showed any diagnosis being done. The machine was just taken apart, serviced and put back together.

[@ivanrubio2780]

[@VictoryMods]

what type of oil did you use

[@CJ-Giddyup209]

Anyone looking for the answer to this; mine looks identical and the manual calls for straight 30w.

[@N269]

Non-detergent.

You should have checken Power Source FIRST . Ist rediculous checking that last. You should immediately take thus Video down as it dose a diservice to those watching that may do all that Work för nothing like you did.

[@kuwah6412]

thank brother

[@michaellee7722]

if youd hav e taken oil filler cap off, oil would have drained quicker !, also start-up capacitor is usual cause of no start Terrible annoying :music: too

[@JohnS-sn2sd]

The music did not help.

[@kp91172]

Where do you buy that brand of air compressor?

[@nayasea3918]

so what was the problem waste of time

[@edlithgow4360]

Cleaning is good, but I try to resist cleaning broken things until I've fixed them, and I try not to make a lot of dust with a cylinder head off. I suspect you fixed it about 12 mins in, when you cleaned the pressure switch, so you kind of did it backwards. Good overview of construction and general maintenance though. I recently pulled a wee Fu Sheng compressor off the dump which I'll be trying to fix...er...sometime.

[@normanmayle5931]

This operation looks completely unnecessary ! Nothing was found to be locked up or defective. Waste other time !

[@HandCraftChannel]

the only defect was - bad oil, taking apart and cleaning it was just for fun and studying how it's made

[@duplex4]

What a waste of time. There was never any diagnosis of what was the problem. And if the problem was just dirty oil then he hasn't prevented the next repair because there was no dipstick/plug where the compressor oil was added. And how much oil did he add? Duh don't know because there is no dipstick...other than the guy who made this useless video.

[@tarassych]

on 11:85 you can see "red eye" which is oil level, you need to fill it with oil until it cover red dot mark under glass
