Right on Minochat this dude really knows what he is doing, just unbelievable how concise he is on the service or repair of the equipment being worked on. This roofing company like many others rarely change their oil or intake filters per required maintenance. Roofers run these compressors 8 hours a day every day during the warm weather imagine what the oil and intake filters look like after a month. Nice job ELMN8OR.

[@turbodiesel4709]

@@EliminatorPerformance : Overall, good video. I do have a question though... Why are you using ISO68 Hydraulic Fluid in the air compressor pump? (Stated around @14:38 in the video.) Curious, because virtually all air compressor manufacturers spec their pumps to use NON-detergent SAE30 Engine Oil, regular or synthetic. SAE30ND has several different fluid properties than an ISO68 hydraulic fluid.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

@@turbodiesel4709 that's what the manual recommended, so that's what I used. Some other brands have recommended synthetic 40 weight oil, so it thag case I believe we used royal purple if I'm not mistaken.

Love your content man appreciate how you edit to get as much info in without unnecessary in-betweens. Question if I may, have a wheel barrow air compressor like these. Started to shut off when hot and when almost filled at 125 psi. Over time once started would stop the compressor pulley all together. Took inlet hose off at compressor worked perfectly fine bought new pilot check valve unloader. Put It on. Same problem. Compressor pulley stops within second of starting. Only thing I did was put the old unloader value from old unit onto new unit since new unit came without it? Any ideas? Thanks for your time!

In the video at 3.29, what size bolt is threaded into the actuator? I just need the bolt and 2 washers to have mine going. I have an old red Emglo. Got it in trade. Had a blown motor. I bought a rebuilt 5 hp Honda that was going to go on a racing go cart. The previous owner said the motor burnt up cause the kickdown was not connected. I have already swapped motors and everything.

[@thombeeston1985]

Hey, I’m hoping you can help me. I have a Makita gas powered compressor. I know the compressor pump is going. The engine seems fine but now when it idles down once the tank is full, the engine completely stalls out. If it does continue running, it seems that it runs rough and the pulley Connected to the compressor pump doesn’t seem to spin properly. I just want to know that if I replace the compressor pump, will it resolve these issues Or is there another issue at play here? I have searched out a part, Before I spend the money on the pump, I’d like to know if it will resolve the issues I’m having

[@EliminatorPerformance]

@@thombeeston1985 sounds like the pump is working fine, and filling the tank, engine throttles down but once the tank is full it's not venting off excess air so the engine keeps running the pump, which keeps trying to fill and already full tank, causing the engine to stall. It's either the blow off valve assembly that's causing it to not vent, or its the carb... I would try running the engine at the same idle when the tank is empty, if it still stalls it's the carb or fuel system. Maybe spark plug cap too, I have a video on a spark plug cap that had too much resistance.

[@AutoDudes]

Quick question, will a universal automatic throttle cable actuator work? I have a truck mount belaire compressor that doesn’t have one.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

It should, these are "pneumatic accelerators" for compressors, or the bullwhip throttle control is the cable one. I'm sure eBay or Amazon has a ton of them listed

[@AutoDudes]

@@EliminatorPerformance thanks! I’ll snag one off Amazon. I appreciate your response!

Anytime, just make sure you measure what length you need because they sell them like 18" or different lengths

[@ils360]

I have exactly the same valve but exactly the opposite issue mine kicks up but won't kick down and sounds like popcorn as it's trying to kick down my compressor head is getting worn and sends a healthy amount of oil through the valve not sure if that's causing an issue or possibly damaging it but what would you suggest? The valve itself is maybe a year and a half old

I have a gx160 on a speedaire it runs good hi idle. Idles down runs fine. Then when goes to kick back to hi idle it dies. I replaced carb and then later fuel filter. Tank looked pretty clean. Any ideas?

[@godsdozer]

very good video

[@BrandonLauer-t7e]

Question. I have an identical compressor. When I bought it it had a flat head Briggs that didn’t run. I rebuilt the carb and got it going. When it would try to idle its self back up it would die. I cleaned the vent on check valve didn’t change anything. Then I thought maybe the Briggs was worn out. (It wasn’t very snappy with the throttle). So I bought a Honda clone. And after installing it I still have the same problem.

[@stevennowak7081]

Great Video ..... Just an FYI. I noticed on 2 of those compressors the muffler guards are missing. I have found a few units where the engine crankcases were full of water. It enters through the open bolt holes that secure the guard. One unit was so full that I could not pull the rope as if engine was seized. They leave them out in the rain, usually in the back of a pick-up truck. Hope this helps ☺☺☺☺☺ Regards; Steve @ Save-on Tools and Equipment Repair

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Yes that's actually a great point, these things take so much abuse they don't want to replace the guards. I'll be sure to tell him to put a couple bolts in there, the next time I talk with him!

[@hdc6839]

I have a question? Is there a way to make that compressor a electric start ? Without changing the engine

[@michaelshepherd5117]

My compressor runs, but will not cut out unless I manually trip the unloader valve. But, then air leaks around the top of the unloader valve lever, and I believe that is what's preventing the throttle from idling down automatically, as it will not build any more pressure once that valve begins leaking around the lever. Is there a way to fix that leak at the top of the valve, or should it leak there?

[@cristianhdez7557]

Same problem here, did you fix it ?

[@jaredg8854]

I have a metabo gas air compressor with a Honda 160 engine. Just recently installed brand new carburator, spark plug cable, spark plug and coil, new on/off switch, new fuel filter, new fuel line. Also cleaned out the unloader check valve. It starts up like a champ cuts off like it should when tanks get filled up. BUT once I start to use the air instead of it starting back up it completely dies! I rebuilt two gas air compressors (metabo and central pneumatics) and on both I removed the gas tanks to clean them out. And both air compressors will not rev back up to fill the tanks they both just die!

[@traestuart384]

Mine shuts off and has absolutely nothing to do with anything you just covered. Shuts off when going back to compress. Would that be carb issues? Cleaning usually works but not this time and spark plug is clean. Reckon I need a new carb?

I have a wheelbarrow compressor that I want to repair but i cant identify the compressor it has a seized connecting rod on the compressor is there any way i can contact you with some pictures and maybe you can point me in the direction of a parts supplier.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

If it doesn't have a model number on the placard, it'll be near impossible to identify. Go by the color of the tank. That's about all I can offer as help.

[@kaleosantos6313]

I have a Honda GX160 that starts with a starter and it runs, then it randomly shuts off but it starts right back up. If I unplug the cut off Wire to the coil it'll run and not stop. But it won't shut off unless you put The Wire back together like sensing it's low in oil, but it's not low in oil. Should I change oil??? Why is it just shutting off? Bad coil?

[@EliminatorPerformance]

I would start with an oil change, and if it has the low oil sensor I would test that by unplugging it, if it keeps running longer than usual than that's the issue, the sensor itself. If it keeps shutting off, you've eliminated the sensor and can plug it back in and move onto something else. It sounds like an electrical issue, cutting spark, not a fueling issue. Also, if you unplug the kill wire and it keeps running, it means the coil itself is likely ok. I would also look for insulation chewed off or cut on the main kill wire somewhere, I've seen mice take a small bite, and expose the wire, then when you're using it, the bare wire touches the engine and cuts spark to the coil.

[@kaleosantos6313]

Ty bro I'll try that.

[@erikaditya4896]

Thank you, your videos really helped me a lot, few questions i need to ask, i have similar pump as in your video, but i'm not sure whether it is single stage or 2 stage pump because i bought it used and no information about that pump anywhere. do you know how to identify them? And what is your cut in/cut out pressure? Once again thanks for your videos. Cheers

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Dual stage pumps have 2 cylinders/heads, 3 stage pumps have 3 cylinders/heads!

[@joeshmoe6686]

@@EliminatorPerformance Excellent video and to the point. Bravo! The number of air filters is generally a more accurate way to determine if it's a single stage or dual stage. If the number of air filters match the number of cylinders, then it's a single stage compressor, like all the ones in your video. In dual stage compressors, the air will pass through one air filter, get compressed, and this compressed air is pumped directly into the the second cylinder and compressed further, upwards of 175 psi and are more specialized. Using 2 cylinders in a single stage compressor is to reduce the recovery time, not increase the pressure.

[@jayroberts5705]

My compressor runs on high idle all the time and never cycles off or to low idle. Can you offer any help on this?

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Your tank pressure regulator may be set high enough, and you're using enough air that the tank never fills completely. At some point, the safety valve would blow off and release extra pressure.

[@carloscamacho8802]

How does the air go from one tank to the other?

So what if the circuit is working but the engine stalls trying to come off idle after the pressure drops. It's then hard to start with air in the system.
