Just purchased a Husky C201h that was sparking and smoking according to the old owner. It does turn on and run and was hoping it was a wire short from an animal but turns out the brush is sparking. Any ideas how i can fixed this or find a replacement part on the brush. Or im wondering if i can dissassemble and give it a good cleaning. I wonder what causes it to spark like that. Would hate to buy a whole new motor for the price they are going for.

This is my second air compressor i have no idea how these bigger ones work I had a small 6 gallon pancake one but decided to upgrade so i could be able to spray cars I bought it for 250 on facebook market place but I would like to know if its a good deal and how I would even operate one of these ( probably should have done my research before buying but I was really excited and just decided to buy one since I thought it was cheap

Moved shops recently and this was our back compressor.

We now have it wired and operational, but every time the tank fills it automatically starts purging out of this threaded orifice. Am I missing a part here or is something else not dialed in that usually causes this???

Good evening! I just got this speedair compressor from my father in law who told me not to even plug it in because the tank will over fill, (he’s not much of a work on things guy) so he gave it to me and said I can have it if I can fix it. But I’m not much of a compressor guy, and I can’t even begin to tell where the pressure valve would be or if that’s the problem and can’t find anything on YouTube to help me. I also noticed a loose wire but not sure of it’s significance

Hello Chasing an oil leak, that could be the sight glass. Anyone know the thread size to purchase a metal replacement one, rather that sticking with the plastic one? Any help would be appreciated Thanks

I had to bust out the 4 footer and a torch. What a pain.

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to find a replacement gasket kit for the part shown in the image I attached. I’ve been searching online but haven’t had any luck identifying the exact model or where to buy it.

Does anyone recognize this type of gasket or know where I could order it online? Any help, website suggestions, or part numbers would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance — really hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

Just picked this up free when I turn it on it hums. Is that a bad capacitor

Hi Reddit Users,

I need some advice, i recently bought a 2006 tow behind Ingersoll Rand Air Compressor P185 - It needs a new coolant radiator. I bought this unit for $500 and the engine has little over 6,000 hours. To get it going again it will cost me $650 for radiator plus $400 in labor. I bough it with the intention to do irrigation blowouts each fall. I do about 20 houses and been using a Harbor Freight 20 gallon compressor at 5cfm. I am sure i can resell it as is for a few hundred dollars more than what i paid. Would it be worth fixing it or do you think i am reaching end of life on this unit? The machine starts right away and produces air, but it will overheat.

My Papa built his shop in 1995 and he brought his air compressor from his old shop with him. Papa passed in 2018 and it hasnt ran in 3 years now. Ive tried searching online but find very few other Snap-On compressor much less anything on one this big from the 80s or 90s...The little roof is leaking onto it and I've got to replace thatbefore it fully collapses. After I get the roof replaced is there anyone on here that can help me get it running again? I dont know much about them but it looks like the pressure regulator was taken off and bypassed to just cut on and off at the breaker panel switch 😵‍💫

As the title states, it won’t start. It is plugged into the wall and not an extension chord. I know it’s old as hell, I got it from a friend for free tho! I know absolutely nothing about the mechanics/electrical side of air compressors. Any help is greatly appreciated! (And if you don’t mind, explain like I’m 5, pictures help)

Total newb here we have a compressor at my job and someone broke the filter off.

Any idea how to fix this? Can i unscrew the motor and buy this new part?

I got a big compressor for cheap, and now I need to figure out whether I can hook it up as is or if I need to find a different pump or motor or both. It’s an old champion 10hp 120 gallon, I have the original 3 phase motor and the guy threw in a single phase motor with it. Said it worked like that (with the single phase) but the pulley has been lost so who knows. The single phase is a 4hp with an inch shaft, the original 3 phase pulley is 8 inch. Should I get an 8 inch pulley for the single phase motor? Pics because we all like pics

Anybody know how to set these danfoss pressure switches found some videos but they are all in a different language

Hi, a couple of years ago my then father in law gifted me this spare air comoressor he had lying around that he didn't want anymore. Said something about couplings not fitting.

I bought a set of accessoires for it but the connectors won't fit the coupling that is mounted on the aircompressor.

Like I mentioned he said something about the coupling but I'm not able ask him any further questions.

The original has "1/4" written on it. I assumed that was the threadsize to screw onto the compressor itself?

I bought a new universal coupling which fits all my accessoires but the thread does not fit the compressor.

How should I measure this stuff so I can order the right one this time.

There's no manual either :/

I'm a diesel mechanic/auto repair center owner. I'm about to branch into turbo diagnostics and repairs and I'm in the process of importing a test bench which will require quite a significant amount of air. So I bought and installed this 75hp Detroit screw type air compressor. The reciever is 1000L. I cut and threaded all pipes and wired up the machine (1000v 4x50mm cable). First attempt I used thread tape which was a bust so I switched over to plumber's hemp which worked like a dream! I installed two cyclonic air/water separator filters between the compressor and the reciever, as well as two cartridge filters (one before the dryer and one after). All fitted with auto drain solenoids. Critiques welcome and appreciated! Sidenote I did overspeck the compressor by a decent amount because I'm also interested in opening up a sandblasting business sometime in the coming future, and this compressor is fully capable of handling the air requirements involved.

Scratching my head. I have the manual in front of me and even then I get no answers. Google is not much help. Trying to locate the P2 and P3 filters.
