Gus 5 Report post Posted October 10, 2006 ive got an air compressor..not a very good one but it used to work..now it doesnt really seem to build up pressure..any chance of being able to rebuild the wee compressor motor? or would it make more sense just to get a new one?

It'll be louder but sometimes they work better [Mine fills faster with no filter] Remember it's cheap ,so who cares if it flogs-out depending on the compressor... you got several options.... 1. rebuild - normally just piston rings, but if your is one of those chinese stuff ten parts might be difficult to get hold of 2. get another compressor unit - not the whoel thing, but the actual air pump. you might get a very decent one on TM for a hundy or two. making it fit might require some fabricarion, but worth it 3. look on TM for eg. compressor with burned out motor - these go cheap and you can cannibalize parts of it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
