hi there!
some motor compressor are equipted of centrifugal switch connected at the shatfting of the motor compressor after turning at rated speed this will be open and disconnecting your starting circuit as well as the starting capacitor.
have anice day fix my rate, thank you

remove the intake filter and check to see if the compressor is sucking or blowing if it is blowing out air from the intake you have a bad valve

one of a few things possible, first is that the start capacitor is faulty, second could be the start switch inside the motor, and the third that the pump is not unloaded ( if only happens when the tank has air in it) or the pump and or motor is locked up.

if you're not getting pressure those may be your valves, are they flat thin metal pieces, looks something like feeler guage material. if they are they go on the top of the valve plate to keep the air from reentering the cyl. head

sears craftsman air compressor motor hums. replaced start capacitor still hums

Master tool repair is a good web site to get things like that, they sell a lot of generic parts like that

Any industrial supply company and some Home Depot & Lowes stores carry them. It might not be the same brand but, as long as it fits and the values are the same, it will work.

send a pic off the compressor and nail gun to [email protected] buddy

Any auto parts store,I know napa carries them.Take the drain **** with you to get the right size.

here is a bottle for £10 a litre we can supply it for you buddy but just saves hassle buy from ebay instead http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/COMPRESSOR-OIL-1Lt-SUITABLE-FOR-DIRECT-OR-BELT-DRIVE_W0QQitemZ120471848230QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Air_Tools_and_Compressors?hash=item1c0cae8526&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

easy buddy just every week check the oil level and weekly drain the tank by underneith the tank uis a vlave you turn this and water will come out and every 6 months change the air filter and to start pull the red/black switch up and dont worry about leaving air in the tank is doesnt matter good luck buddy any more info get back to me

These look reasonable, http://www.famousdiscountwarehouse.com/stca43to336m.html Eric

No, there is a problem with the check valve . the check valve is allowing the unit to start with a load on it . replace the check valve it will fix the problem

hi mate strip the head on the cylinder and check the valves if there look in bad condition replace them

My first thought was that the check valve is allowing pressure back into the compressor and preventing the motor from turning. That's still my best guess right now.

I think the cold weather start symptom is what you would see with any engine/motor -- it requires more torque to get it going. In this scenario, if the check valve weren't leaking, it would start okay when cold.

Typically on the inside cover of the electical box it will illustrate the cut-in/cut-out controls. There should also be a fill port above the pump end of the compressor. Do you have a sight glass on the side of the compressor *(around the area of the leaking oil) usually if its coming out its due to overfilling or tipping over of the compressor.

All reciprocating compressors have a series of pistons that pump up and down inside their individual cylinders to compress the air to a higher pressure. This rubbing creates friction, which creates heat. In order to conserve the life of the pump, you need some type of protection. Some pumps are “splash” lubricated with oil and some have a teflon-type lining in the cylinder. Oil-less compressors are adequate for lighter use applications and have the advantage of being able to run off-level without worry, however even though they are considered low-maintenance, they tend to wear much quicker due to more heat build-up and repair costs could be extensive. Oil-lubricated compressors have the advantage of keeping the pump running cooler and lasting much longer and are built for the professional who takes pride in ownership and will maintain his equipment. However the key is to make sure the compressor sits level so the “splash”-lubrication is effective and reaches all cylinders. If run off-level, it can score the cylinder and do heavy damage over a short period of time. It is very difficult to claim warranty for the owner in this case.
