SOURCE: cambell/hausfeld air compressor model# wl650102aj air compressor

Well currently dealing with a similar situatio with a Wl650102aj CH ocmpressor, in my case it was that factory bend copper tube that runs from the motor into the check valve on the tank, it was cracked, havn't been able to find a replacement yet, and bending your own will not work... as they must be stamped out, there is no way to really get that particular bend in them.

So that may not be your case, but I would be willing to bet if it's not pressuring up and the check valve is good, and your manifold isn't leaking... that your having the same problem

SOURCE: black and decker air station won 't work

My Air Station blew a fuse also. The fuse that came with the inflator may be a bit too small amperage wise so I stepped up to .25 Amps more which is just a very small increase.

It is really ill advise to solder a wire in the place of a fuse. You are just asking for it.

The way I did it is I went to my local Radio Shack and got a small fuse holder with red leads and 1.5 Amp fuses. I soldered the fuse holder in place with the new fuse. And now I don't have to deal with any more solder. Just twist the fuse holder, take out the burnt out fuse and replace it with a new one. And wahlah. I'm back in business again.

SOURCE: pressure switch 120 volt compressor how to bypass pressure switch

Un-plug the compressor and remove the cover to the pressure switch. Inspect wire connections for burned /discolored wires. If not burned, look for button to manually trip switch (switch has on /off lever, place in on position). Test with ohm meter for continuity. Switch is normally closed and contacts are usually visable to evaluate condition. Some compressors use a very small sealed pressure switch that is also normally closed.

My bonaire 12 volt will not run. I changed the fuse - still nothing. Any suggestions

These oilless air compressors air considered throw aways. The motor may be worn out. If your familiar with 12 volt circuits, have a test light or multimeter and have some time. You could disassemble it, test for power and ground (at the on/off switch and motor). You might troubleshoot it and find out it is repairable. If not, get a new one.

Can I limit the pressure to 120 PSI, the upper recommended limit for my nail gun?

adjust your pressure switch on your compressor .remove the cap and turn the screw clockwise to increase and counterclockwise decrease.turn the screw counterclockwise a bit and release some air till the compressor start pumping.then just before to reach 120 psi turn counterclockwise to stop the compressor at 120.then release some air again till it cuts in again and look at what pressure it will stop.keep going that way till you get your 120 psi.cut in should be around 90 psi(30 psi differential)depending what kind of pump you have (if the pump can handle 150 psi )you can adjust it to cut in at 120 and cut off at 150 and install a pressure regulator adjusted to 115 to 120 and get a nice steady pressure going to your nail gun.(the best way to do it!!!)

My compressor builds up to preset pressure just fine. My problem is after the pump shuts off, the air leaks down at the valve on the pressure switch. I have changed pressure switches and still have the...

This switch is only rated for up to 2 HP at 240 volts and 1-1/2 HP at 120 volts. Using 3 phase power, you can go only up to 3 HP. That would not cause the problem that you discuss, but it is an unsafe condition.
Some Square D switches have a small relief valve so that when the compressor reaches pressure, the motor stops and the relief opens and lets pressure out of the compressor cylinder. Does your switch have that and might that be what is "leaking"? I believe that if the compressor is tight that the leak would stop rather quickly.

My air compressor can pump air in but when it get

when it reaches 120 psi it will cut out usually will cut back in at around 70- 80 psi if it struggles to restart at cut in pressure it may not be bleeding the head pressure om your compressor . this is done by the pressure switch which when shuts off releases a small squirt of air under it . to solve this problem you may need new switch . there is also the non return valve to check

Portable Air Compressor Comparison

Portable air compressors give flexibility to the job both inside and outside the working environment. They're powered by electric, gasoline or diesel engine. A larger portable air compressor often has its own carrying trailer with wheels and handles. You buy a compressor based on its horsepower, pounds per square inch (PSI) and cubic feet per minute (CFM). Choose a portable air compressor to make work quicker and easier. Figure the amount of power you need based on the type of job and air tools used. Know the cubic feet per minute (CFM), such as 5 CFM for small household tools and 10 CFM or more for wrenches or sanders. All air tools have these ratings. Select a gas- or electric-powered engine. Gas gives a higher reliability for frequent use and portability, but consider electric for enclosed areas for its lack of fumes. Pick an air tank based on amount of use time and tools. Large tanks are best for longer use with sanders or grinders and smaller tanks for less time, like wrenches and air hammers. Consider the pump type you need: belt for heavy use or direct-drive for light home use. The quieter belt-drive pump needs periodic oil changes. Buy an inexpensive, small electric portable air compressor for small jobs. These typically operate from a 12-volt power outlet and inflate a 14-inch tire in a few minutes. Get a 150 PSI, 120 volt motor pancake-type air compressor for home use. These light-use models typically carry two air couplers, allowing hook up of two air tools and adequate 25 feet or more air hose. Obtain a larger PSI portable air compressor for bigger jobs, like nailing, with longer continuous use capabilities.
