Air compressor reed valve creation pt 1

[@themakeruk392]

who does these thumbs down? The guy is trying to help people!!!!!! I just took apart my compressor as it wasnt going up to 10 x bar stopping at 6 x bar! and after i reassembled it it doesnt even go to 0 bar! CLARKE Has helped me with emails, but your video shows what i suspected as my metal plates have snapped off! so im glad to see your video :)

This is exactly what happened to mine. One of the reed valves broke in half and one half slid over the other. Replacement parts are about $6.50, if I order them.

this is genius, along with the feeler gauges!

[@ritchiesokol1061]

Kudo's (good job). A feeler gauge for shim stock will work fine also. (about .014). I fixed our company H.P. with used stainless from an airplane firewall.

Just fixed mine used a feeler Guage you have a choice of thickness hope this helps.

I was thinking about trying this. Glad to hear it worked.

I'll remember this when I break down in the Mojave or Sahara .... but will the apprentice believe me when I tell him what to do ? I do carry files and hopefully would have some Jub Clips -and/or steel Packing tape ..... Thanks for pointing in the right direction. Bairn asks: Hey, how about Plastic packaging tape !

What about the gasket under the cylinder? Is it replaceable?

[@hulongraves3541]

[@joetattersall2762]

How long did it last for?
