How to repair a air compressor that is running but not building any air. Draper Storm Force

[@austenj4539]

Draper compressor fixed with a Draper feeler gauge. Nice!

[@darylhudson777]

Not long ago I was given an old Mastercraft horizontal tank on wheels air compressor. I have not attempted to run it yet. Now that I watched this video I think I will see if it is ok or needs work. I never knew how they worked. Thanks again Brother Dean for helping us. Sharing is caring. 🇨🇮🇺🇸👍

[@edchristie4839]

Great vid Dean, you should do one explaining the adjustment of the pressure switch , it would be useful? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@theshemullet]

I've seen you use feeler gauges for a few things now. The MacGuyver of tool repair. Fair play

[@kevinhewitt1428]

I'm an outside the box solution kind of guy. I wouldn't have thought of that. Respect!

[@ElMariachi1337]

Nice fix, never thought of that. Most of these compressors all come from the same Italian factories, some brands do sell these valves but those parts are a lot more expensive then those feeler plates.

[@1978JonBullock]

Smart repair Dean.

[@eoinwalsh7017]

Very good fix.You keep on learning every day.

[@chrislindquist2003]

Great repair! What I appreciate about you is that if it can be fixed, you will fix it. We have been so conditioned to just throw everything away. Nice work.

[@aspedersen1]

Due to a leak in the line, my cheap compressor was running for a very long time, and is now acting this exact way. Now I know what to look for....Cheers Dean!

[@Z-Ack]

They can break piston seals/rings and linkages if ran for a long time and got hot.. oilless compressors can warp heads and stuff as well.. would act very similar..

[@aspedersen1]

@@Z-Ack Thanks....easy way to check though.

[@harpintn]

I had an old compressor that runs off a car battery that no longer pumps air. If I still have it somewhere I will take a crack at it.

[@dieseldog1959]

Very clever fix, Dean. Helluva job.

[@Jordan_0121]

Genius to be fair!

[@oscara.8176]

Oh boy, the feeler gauge trick was great.

[@martincraig-je4vo]

What a great fix Dean 👀👍👍👍

[@harpintn]

That is a cute little compressor. The perfect size to air up some tires, or maybe run a paint sprayer. I had no idea that they were so simple internally.

[@rabnawazkhan1837]

Genuine replacement and same brand ,love it

[@dennisbishop3842]

Super cool repair.

[@LoneStar1955]

Cool fix Dean. Cheers!

[@chriselliott726]

Brilliant! You are such a help - thank you. .......Although I might have given it a clean off before I put it back together and I imagine, given the state of everything else, the intake filter might need a clean/ replacement.

[@deandohertygreaser]

If you seen the workshop its going back into, you would understand why cleaning it is pointless

[@chriselliott726]

@@deandohertygreaser OK, fair point.😄

[@JamesBurke-yt9wc]

Dean you are one of a kind some of the things I see you doing will not be found in any manual That Makita hm3000 had a rake of parts amazing to watch. Great CO DERRY accent too

[@jasonbuckler190]

Nice work, per the norm. Thanks for the tip!

[@tonybr2469]

Nice one dean always a learning curve respect bro

[@michaelsilva7085]

Is there anything you can’t fix!?! I love the content. Thank you.

[@MindUrOwnBusiness77]

Another video repair using feeler gauge as a part. Nice

[@dennismorales771]

Thanks mate

[@Z-Ack]

The man with the ideas.. ha!

[@markrainford1219]

A reed valve has to be the ultimate test of a component's metallurgy.

[@edchristie4839]

Great vid Dean , you should do one about pressure switch and how to adjust them? 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ToolTimeToday]

well i never knew that. The bar adjuster on mine is faulty and ive not got rnd to having a proper look at it. But i know what i'm going to be doing tomorrow now,lol. Thanks for the video Dean.

[@tommoso55]

Amazing

[@rogerhodges7656]

I have one that might need the same fix!

[@cappywa]

Legend mate. Cheers

[@wesmalecki9381]

Smart dude

[@timoruohomaki]

That was a clever tip! Also noticed that the part you used was labeled 0,40 but measured as 0,33 mm so probably not a big loss to use it elsewhere...

[@Aspire198]

Those cheapy digital calipers aren't super accurate to be fair

[@jasonhughes6994]

I had to replace a Reid valve on one last year on a sip 3 hp.it cost me 4× more for postage than it did for the part.

[@guywright7388]

Pretty easy to diagnose, but who would've thought to use feeler gauge? That's experience for you. 👍

[@YpsilonXY]

Fresh Video

[@cidercreekranch]

I used feeler gauges to tram the wood jointer. It was cheaper that ordering various size of brass shim stock.

[@BenEyah]

If you’re using draper tools as parts, would that invalidate the warranty?

[@jeffhunt]

TRIGGERED MY OCD NOT BLOWING OFF COMPRESSOR HEAD LOL

[@heeramanramdhani3815]

I repaired my compressor puting in new gaskets and checking the valves all in order but still not getting. Pressure build up now what can be the problem

[@electroluxlad]

I had a craftsman that I accidentally overfilled and it did that same thing and I tried everything took it apart. Eventually, I just got air compressor

[@dreamboy-nd4tp]

How to wiring this kind of compressor do you give me diagram please

[@nicolaschampagne8988]

is it the same fault if you hear the head leaking slowly ?

[@Z-Ack]

Tighten the head bolts. If doesnt fix leak and valves look good when taken apart than ghe head is warped and would either be scrap or maybe add gasket maker under the head to try and seal it but dont get any on the valve parts..

[@deandohertygreaser]

No, that's probably a faulty non return valve. Brass fitting the head feeds into before entering the tank. It's just a rubber plug and a spring inside. It's ti stop the pressure in the tank getting back out but allows the compressed air it. Empty the tank of air, take of the large bradd hex bolt on the side of the brass fitting and check the rubber plug. It needs ti be flat. Sometime you can flatten them on a piece of sandpaper on a flat surface. Otherwise you can replace them

[@SteifWood]

I cannot understand why ppl never seems to clean their tools ... maybe bcs work/repair here cost min €100/hr and it's cheaper to buy new when the tools is just dirty, not least broken.

[@BarniRepairs]

Nah they are just ignorant and lazy.

[@Mobin92]

I guess because depending on the work you do, they just immediately get dirty again.

[@BarniRepairs]

@@Mobin92 when you bring it to someone to repair it, the bare minimum you could do is couple of strokes w. A broom
