SOURCE: I have an Ingersoll Rand compressor (RA5E6VA) 5 HP

that is just a compression fitting. Sometimes just replacing the tubing is enough to get a bit on it. If not you should be able to get another fitting from an indstrial supplier.

SOURCE: regulator will not hold indicated air pressure

Pressure regulator can be dis-assembled and lubricated or replaced. If lip seal and pressure pin are dry, the regulator will not function correctly. I do not think that there is a repair kit but try lubing with silicone paste sold at Lowes in the plumbing department. Lowes also stocks campbell hausfeld regulators and water seperators. An upgraded regulator will provide more cfm and a greater accuracy in pressure control. To repair regulator, empty tank of air and turn regulator counter clockwise to release pressure on spring and take apart. If you do not see any way to dis-assemble, then there is a tiny pin on the lower edge of knob that must be removed before knob will thread off completely. Push pin up from under knob. Good luck

SOURCE: Craftsman Air Compressor 919.156640 -- Today, when

You could give it a try you don't have anything to loose and you might be able to clean it and thats what it sounds like. But you can redo bolth of the regulators with new ones get rid of the plastic cover and they thread on a pipe that comes out of the air system. You could get two new gauges and a manifold body for 50 dollars at a place that sells auto paint supplys or spray equipment. If the compresser still works good its worth it you just have to do a little retro fitting these parts tend to be vary standard its your call good luck

Testimonial: "Thanks. If I can't get it to work by my attempt at cleaning, I'll certainly follow your advice."

Sears air compressor 919.167340 Need advice re: why tank pressure guage doesn't work when it's compressing air.

maybe you are reading the gauge wrong
the tank gauge and the regulator gauge will read the same but the gauge that reads when you adjust the regulator is the out line pressure to be n maintained during tool use

I have an oilless 175psi craftsman, 1 hp. My regulator broke, and I replaced it with one from Homedepot for a husky, I believe. What happens is the pressure builds all the way sometimes, but mostly j

I have worked on compressors from 15 PSI all the way up to 5000 PSI and everyone of the regulators I have seen bleed the pressure of when you dial it down and you can hear it.

Craftsman model # 919.167310. Pops breaker when wanting to reload air

If your compressor starts with no air in the tank but pops the breaker when it restarts with pressure in the tank it is usually because the tank check valve (choke valve) is stuck open. The valve lets air into the tank while the pump is running then closes when the pump shuts off so the valve on the pressure regulator can relieve the pressure in the pump head and lines. If the valve is stuck open, the motor has to fight the tank pressure to restart. Occasionally they can be cleaned up and will work but usually they have to be replaced. The valve would be on the tank where the copper line from the pump goes into the tank. There will also be a line running from the pressure regulator on it. The Craftsman part number is A19712.

I have an older Craftsman Air Compressor and the knob valve to reg the pressure seems to not be working. Can I replace it?

It is getting increasingly more difficult to obtain replacement parts for older compressors. If your regulator failed at a fairly high pressure adjustment, say around 100-120 lbs, you could just leave the old regulator in place and add a regulator when needed to one of the quick connects. Purchase a generic pressure regulator from Lowes and add quick fittings to easily connect the regulator or remove when not needed. You could also just remove the old regulator and work-in a new generic regulator in its place. Generic regulators sell for $20 - $40. Good luck with your repair.

I have a Sears evolv 3 gal air compressor that will not inflate a auto tire, even a partially de-flated tire. I let the pressure build to 100 psi and checked all fittings. Still wil not do it. Compressor...

The evolv air compressor was primarily designed to power a very small nailer. The pressure regulator (knob in front) should be turned clockwise till it stops to attain full pressure. At this setting it should air your tire. If not you may have a defective regulator. There is a trick to get full pressure from your tank. Notice the small pressure safety valve on the side of the unit. You could remove this valve and install a fitting giving you two ports. One for the safety and other for a quick disconnect. This second port will give you access to tank pressure without going thru the pressure regulator. This mod is safe because you still have access to regulated pressure when you need it. Good luck

Low air pressure

This sounds like it is either the pump is leaking from the piston or more commonly, the rubber seal that seals the outlet tube to the cylinder head blew out like mine. Let me guess, it got a lot louder than it was originally? The seals are readily available from sears parts direct, its like 3 bucks but shipping is around $8. Hope this helped
