fixing an air compressor regulator cheap

my air compressor wouldn't build pressure above 80 psi. I thought it was the o-ring but it turned out to be the spring tension. but it was cheap and easy to remedy

Pick up an Campbell Hausfeld 3 gallon air compressor that someone was throwing out .This was also the problem thanks for the video ....

Got the same unit free from my neighbor and I suspect it has the same issue. Will give it a try tomorrow.

Smart move using the washers

Thanks. Unfortunately the air compressor died a few months later. It was on its way out. I did a video on my new one. And I like it alot better

How do you get the regulator knob off. Mine only loosens but so much…

[@JGsgarage_unboxings]

I think mine had a set screw. Look towards the bottom of the knobon one of the sides. Something should definitely be there. It's to prevent people from completely unscrew the handle while the tank is under pressure

[@JosueFlores-tm4sx]

Can you show us how put the washer inside? Please.

I don't have this air compressor anymore. I'm sorry
