#102 fixing shop dayton air compressor 240v 7-1/2hp repair motor reed capacitor harley tatro machine
#1 see the dummass try to fix my air compressor 240v 7-1/2 hp motor capacitor harley tatro machine
after 30 years of use the shop air compressor has taken a crap again. 1st it was the not capaitor problem. it was the circuit breaker tripping. then it was the starter swith poping. i sitll think there is something wrong with the 7-1/2 hp electric motor but now we have another bigger problem. the reed valve in the 7-1/2 hp air pump has broken and locked up the pump and damaged the piston. its time to take it apart and fix my air compressor correctly. 1st the pump and then onto the motor.

Great video... We've all been there...

The resistor discharges the cap when not energized

[@jameshogg4625]

That still HELPS OUT. !

[@TatroMachine]

its waiting for me to get back to it. been dealing with family stuff for now. tatro

[@ralphwatten2426]

I think you may still have a problem with the circuit breaker popping. They pop because the load is too high. Quite the rats nest in that box though. Now you have some spare capacitors. I agree with Keith. Anybody who works with stuff goes through the same thing.

[@TatroMachine]

and think that rats nest is after i cleaned it all up. you can see what goes to where now. tatro

Well Tatro, welcome to the wide, wide, world of dumbasses. We are a very large organization. Many of us long-time, "life members" have been wondering if & when you were going to arrive. I think you'll find you're in good company when you're able to step down and laugh at yourself every once-in-a-while. Actually, just about everyone belongs here but many will never allow themselves the necessary humility they need to meet the minimum criteria for good-standing membership. Some of those 'outsiders' provide lots of entertainment for us 'insiders'. Glad you finally joined.

That circuit breaker did look like a knockout hole. Same color and everything.

[@TatroMachine]

yes it did. they were sneaky. tatro

[@snapon666]

Question is why did the cir breaker pop ? if it went once it will probably go again ....after 20 ? yrs of sitting there it had to have a reason to quit

[@chrisgreig5628]

Those clixtons do age

[@johnmartin1114]

Speed aire compressors the best Dayton or Baldor motors can not be beat

[@TatroMachine]

yes they are, they last decades. tatro

[@monticella]

Maybe the unloaders? Maybe there's no oil in the compressor, just kidding. 🤔

[@charlesmccormick4443]

Did you unhook your air tank to the pump line to see if the tank check valve was leaking , if the check valve leaks it causes very hard start up , but you probably know that . Circuit breaker - lol >> You probably remember those bumper stickers they made years ago that said - shi t happens .... lol , I seen a license plate one time in a pawn shop window that said - hire a teenager while they still know it all - lol
