AS196 Compressor Relief valve fix

[@mcscalemodeling4984]

Thank you for your video, this helped me fix my AS-196A as well. I think I had several issues. One of the red valve plates had a corrosion in the metal which kept the little rubber valve open. Then I also had a wet non-return valve, I didn't have a sponge in it, so I cut myself a little piece which for now did the trick. Also my solonoid valve wasn't screwed in thight, solved that. After checking and tightening all the nuts. My compressor now shuts off after reaching 4 bar instead of blowing off all pressure. Plus my compressor also doesn't blow off anymore when you turn it off. Next to that I made a little field mod, I added a little piece of string to the blow-off valve so I can release the air in the tank after I'm done.

Fixed my leaking As196. Air leaked from solenoid valve but turned out to be the ball bearing corroded. £1 for 2 new ball bearings....saved me alot of money

I have this compressor I purchased from Amazon and was very happy with it, great capacity and good price. After about 2 years it developed a small leak which causes it to turn on about every 4 minutes. Your video is great but I apparently have a different check valve, it has different dimensions and internally has a rubber "flapper" design to prevent back flow. I opened it and cleaned up the bit of residue on it and it helped slow the leak to a recharge about every 10 minutes. I have discovered replacement check valves like this are available to replace my cheap rubber valve but they have to come from Europe, apparently from Germany. I am going to order one as I don't want to chuck an entire good compressor because of one small bad part. Thanks for the video, it helped.

You're welcome. I do not check this very often as you can tell. I get so much help from KZbin fix videos that when I fix something like this I feel I should post in case it helps others as well.

Solved my problem with the AS196 with the exact same issue. Thank you.

[@phototrecker]

You're welcome. Got another problem with it now. I'll see if I have any luck fixing this one.

Mine has this problem. I'm gonna strip it down now and hopefully it will be okay. Thanx for the video.....I would have no clue where to start otherwise. 😃

You don't need to take of the cylinder heads you can loosen the 4 bolts that hold the motor part against the tank. Lift the complete motor a bit and you've got clearance to take it out!
