Over here working on a roof and my good ol RolAir started acting up, and you explained this like it was just another day at the job my guy! Thank you so much! 👏🏼
Well done. Camera wiggled around a bit, but hey, I now have all the info I need to fix my compressor. Thanks for an informative, cogent, concise commentary.
Yeah very very detailed I liked it but he should maybe take a breath or two dammit lol he must chewing his coffee beans lol just having fun great video
Thanks mate, I was looking for a gas compressor build video, but I leaned more from you than the guys doing builds. Cheers from Iron Rock nova scotia Canada, thanks a bunch.
I am running a new predator 212 motor and cast iron pump. It runs and builds pressure and kicks down like it’s supposed to. But when it’s supposed to kick back in it stalls instead of throttling up..
Right on Minochat this dude really knows what he is doing, just unbelievable how concise he is on the service or repair of the equipment being worked on. This roofing company like many others rarely change their oil or intake filters per required maintenance. Roofers run these compressors 8 hours a day every day during the warm weather imagine what the oil and intake filters look like after a month. Nice job ELMN8OR.
@@EliminatorPerformance : Overall, good video. I do have a question though... Why are you using ISO68 Hydraulic Fluid in the air compressor pump? (Stated around @14:38 in the video.) Curious, because virtually all air compressor manufacturers spec their pumps to use NON-detergent SAE30 Engine Oil, regular or synthetic. SAE30ND has several different fluid properties than an ISO68 hydraulic fluid.
@@turbodiesel4709 that's what the manual recommended, so that's what I used. Some other brands have recommended synthetic 40 weight oil, so it thag case I believe we used royal purple if I'm not mistaken.
This is one of the best step by step tutorials Ive seen on anything - well done man. I’m excited to check out more of your content. - Joshua ~ Gander Flight
Thank you so much. Great Video. First came accross a wheel-barrell compressor when I rented one the other day. Thinking about building one me self; well, outsour ing the metal work. I already gave a GX160 on a rototiller and I am just $250.00 away from a compressor and a 30 tank.
Love your content man appreciate how you edit to get as much info in without unnecessary in-betweens. Question if I may, have a wheel barrow air compressor like these. Started to shut off when hot and when almost filled at 125 psi. Over time once started would stop the compressor pulley all together. Took inlet hose off at compressor worked perfectly fine bought new pilot check valve unloader. Put It on. Same problem. Compressor pulley stops within second of starting. Only thing I did was put the old unloader value from old unit onto new unit since new unit came without it? Any ideas? Thanks for your time!
I have exactly the same valve but exactly the opposite issue mine kicks up but won't kick down and sounds like popcorn as it's trying to kick down my compressor head is getting worn and sends a healthy amount of oil through the valve not sure if that's causing an issue or possibly damaging it but what would you suggest? The valve itself is maybe a year and a half old
Hi I’m just getting to begin my conversion wheelbarrow air compressor project and dammit this is a very informative video on the check valve I’m not that far on my project but I was curious on how this works great thanks now I bought this compressor with dual heads compressor with both of there filters cap snapped off like I said I have no knowledge on this so I can’t even find any information or how to describe these little filters or muffler?? Can you please advise me in this repair?? Thanks also this is a 9.6 cfm what size gas motor should I get?? If I could fix these caps…thanks
This is a really great detailed video. Thanks. Mine isles down but the belt stops catching on the pulleys. They spend but the belt stays still causing it to burn. Any idea how to fix? Thanks!
In the video at 3.29, what size bolt is threaded into the actuator? I just need the bolt and 2 washers to have mine going. I have an old red Emglo. Got it in trade. Had a blown motor. I bought a rebuilt 5 hp Honda that was going to go on a racing go cart. The previous owner said the motor burnt up cause the kickdown was not connected. I have already swapped motors and everything. I only ran the motor for about a minute as I don't want to burn up a fresh motor. Any help is greatly appreciated.
It should, these are "pneumatic accelerators" for compressors, or the bullwhip throttle control is the cable one. I'm sure eBay or Amazon has a ton of them listed
Great video! Can you tell me why my gas powered compressor shuts off whenever I start using the air? It starts right up at high rpm then rpm goes down once it is filled. As soon as the air gets to about 110psi instead of the compressor rpm going up to fill tanks again it shuts off!
Hey, I’m hoping you can help me. I have a Makita gas powered compressor. I know the compressor pump is going. The engine seems fine but now when it idles down once the tank is full, the engine completely stalls out. If it does continue running, it seems that it runs rough and the pulley Connected to the compressor pump doesn’t seem to spin properly. I just want to know that if I replace the compressor pump, will it resolve these issues Or is there another issue at play here? I have searched out a part, Before I spend the money on the pump, I’d like to know if it will resolve the issues I’m having
@@thombeeston1985 sounds like the pump is working fine, and filling the tank, engine throttles down but once the tank is full it's not venting off excess air so the engine keeps running the pump, which keeps trying to fill and already full tank, causing the engine to stall. It's either the blow off valve assembly that's causing it to not vent, or its the carb... I would try running the engine at the same idle when the tank is empty, if it still stalls it's the carb or fuel system. Maybe spark plug cap too, I have a video on a spark plug cap that had too much resistance.
Question. I have an identical compressor. When I bought it it had a flat head Briggs that didn’t run. I rebuilt the carb and got it going. When it would try to idle its self back up it would die. I cleaned the vent on check valve didn’t change anything. Then I thought maybe the Briggs was worn out. (It wasn’t very snappy with the throttle). So I bought a Honda clone. And after installing it I still have the same problem.
Thank you, very good video I have a problem with my gas power air compressor, it’s only one year old what happens is, my compressor start very easy but after the tanks are full die and then I have to use the air until is low and I start again with out any problems until the tank is full and die any suggestions, thank you
I have a metabo gas air compressor with a Honda 160 engine. Just recently installed brand new carburator, spark plug cable, spark plug and coil, new on/off switch, new fuel filter, new fuel line. Also cleaned out the unloader check valve. It starts up like a champ cuts off like it should when tanks get filled up. BUT once I start to use the air instead of it starting back up it completely dies! I rebuilt two gas air compressors (metabo and central pneumatics) and on both I removed the gas tanks to clean them out. And both air compressors will not rev back up to fill the tanks they both just die!
Yeah I am trying to figure out how to add something to a Kohler k482s 18hp motor that will be hooked up to a gardner-denver 1955 ado massive compressor pump, I mean I could hook them up and run the compressor pump but would have to manually stand there and watch the gauge to shut the motor off, not sure how to go about installing Something to either stop or idle the motor down when the tank is full? both vintage items trying to work with here
I have this compressor and other day it just shut off and would not crank again. What could be the problem? I had just filled the gas and Oil level is good. Thanks!
Thank you, your videos really helped me a lot, few questions i need to ask, i have similar pump as in your video, but i'm not sure whether it is single stage or 2 stage pump because i bought it used and no information about that pump anywhere. do you know how to identify them? And what is your cut in/cut out pressure? Once again thanks for your videos. Cheers
@@EliminatorPerformance Excellent video and to the point. Bravo! The number of air filters is generally a more accurate way to determine if it's a single stage or dual stage. If the number of air filters match the number of cylinders, then it's a single stage compressor, like all the ones in your video. In dual stage compressors, the air will pass through one air filter, get compressed, and this compressed air is pumped directly into the the second cylinder and compressed further, upwards of 175 psi and are more specialized. Using 2 cylinders in a single stage compressor is to reduce the recovery time, not increase the pressure.
My compressor runs, but will not cut out unless I manually trip the unloader valve. But, then air leaks around the top of the unloader valve lever, and I believe that is what's preventing the throttle from idling down automatically, as it will not build any more pressure once that valve begins leaking around the lever. Is there a way to fix that leak at the top of the valve, or should it leak there?
Great Video ..... Just an FYI. I noticed on 2 of those compressors the muffler guards are missing. I have found a few units where the engine crankcases were full of water. It enters through the open bolt holes that secure the guard. One unit was so full that I could not pull the rope as if engine was seized. They leave them out in the rain, usually in the back of a pick-up truck. Hope this helps ☺☺☺☺☺ Regards; Steve @ Save-on Tools and Equipment Repair
Yes that's actually a great point, these things take so much abuse they don't want to replace the guards. I'll be sure to tell him to put a couple bolts in there, the next time I talk with him!
I have simular problem on 5.5 honda dewalt air compressor it does not have vent and when high idel good kicks down good but when re idling up it just shut off also wont let u pull start till tank pressure is below 40psi any ideas
I have a Honda GX160 that starts with a starter and it runs, then it randomly shuts off but it starts right back up. If I unplug the cut off Wire to the coil it'll run and not stop. But it won't shut off unless you put The Wire back together like sensing it's low in oil, but it's not low in oil. Should I change oil??? Why is it just shutting off? Bad coil?
I would start with an oil change, and if it has the low oil sensor I would test that by unplugging it, if it keeps running longer than usual than that's the issue, the sensor itself. If it keeps shutting off, you've eliminated the sensor and can plug it back in and move onto something else. It sounds like an electrical issue, cutting spark, not a fueling issue. Also, if you unplug the kill wire and it keeps running, it means the coil itself is likely ok. I would also look for insulation chewed off or cut on the main kill wire somewhere, I've seen mice take a small bite, and expose the wire, then when you're using it, the bare wire touches the engine and cuts spark to the coil.
@Eliminator Performance I have a makita mac5501g in fixing up but don't see where they connect. One hard line goes from the pump to the one tank and then one line goes from the other tank to the manifold
Hello! I'm working on a central pneumatic gas powered wheelbarrow air compressor, I 've replaced the pilot unloaded valve 'cause it bad, but now before it builds air up to 135psi bleed valve pops off. Any ideas???
Your tank pressure regulator may be set high enough, and you're using enough air that the tank never fills completely. At some point, the safety valve would blow off and release extra pressure.
Mine shuts off and has absolutely nothing to do with anything you just covered. Shuts off when going back to compress. Would that be carb issues? Cleaning usually works but not this time and spark plug is clean. Reckon I need a new carb?
What dose it mean if the is air constantly coming out of the exhaust screen once you start the engine the air is coming out the exhaust and tank only builds to 20 psi because of it and even if you shut the engine off it will drain the tank
I have a wheelbarrow compressor that I want to repair but i cant identify the compressor it has a seized connecting rod on the compressor is there any way i can contact you with some pictures and maybe you can point me in the direction of a parts supplier.
If it doesn't have a model number on the placard, it'll be near impossible to identify. Go by the color of the tank. That's about all I can offer as help.
So what if the circuit is working but the engine stalls trying to come off idle after the pressure drops. It's then hard to start with air in the system.
I want the air throttle piston setup for my compressor can you send me a link on where to get it from as I am changing it from a three-phase motor to petrol it is a 9 horsepower Vanguard motor as I Googled throttle control piston on eBay and nothing come up any advice you can give me will be muchly appreciated thank you
Do not operate the throttle lever manually (I don't even know why they put that lever there). Near-ocean operation and offshore operation rusts the pivot points involved in that throttle linkage. Every time you check fuel, tap on the throttle lever and the pilot valve to ensure pilot valve operates on its own. If you tap or bang on those when you suspect the compressor is not cycling, the lever has rusted at its pivot points or the pilot to throttle linkage is caught up. When the pilot vales become as wonly as dude shows here in this video you do not want to use the compressor in a pinch or a lucrative situation (it will fail you again). Buy a new pilot valve and save yourself... These are issues I know like the back of my hand. I understand the video is about other issues. Just wanted to add a little sumsum. Hope it helps!
I got a weird issue here if i run my gas powered compressor to say 100psi then use some air and try and restart it at times it doesn't want to start back up again it is as if the pump is very hard to turn and turns back the spring return etc for the idle works all well its just weird

Hi again I like your video I have subscribed to your channel for more info for my compressor needs thanks keep up your work thanks buddy
Apakah anda bisa memberi tahu saya.. Dimana saya bisa mendapatkan alat atau katup itu
Is super informative
So what if the circuit is working but the engine stalls trying to come off idle after the pressure drops. It's then hard to start with air in the system.
Good information, Thanks for the video's.
Thanks for watching!
Great stuff many thanks.....
So my compressor is stuck unloading at 40 psi. Thinking the vent is just dirty?
A lot of information great !! I want to change my electric engine to gasoline now I know
I want the air throttle piston setup for my compressor can you send me a link on where to get it from as I am changing it from a three-phase motor to petrol it is a 9 horsepower Vanguard motor as I Googled throttle control piston on eBay and nothing come up any advice you can give me will be muchly appreciated thank you
Google Pneumatic Accelerator. And I can't send you anything for your compressor, Google the model number and then manual or parts diagram after it.
@@EliminatorPerformance Thanks for that I give that a go

MAKE A VIDEO ON HOW TO ADJUST THE PILOT VALVE ON WHEEL BARROW AIR COMPRESSOR
Do not operate the throttle lever manually (I don't even know why they put that lever there). Near-ocean operation and offshore operation rusts the pivot points involved in that throttle linkage. Every time you check fuel, tap on the throttle lever and the pilot valve to ensure pilot valve operates on its own. If you tap or bang on those when you suspect the compressor is not cycling, the lever has rusted at its pivot points or the pilot to throttle linkage is caught up. When the pilot vales become as wonly as dude shows here in this video you do not want to use the compressor in a pinch or a lucrative situation (it will fail you again). Buy a new pilot valve and save yourself... These are issues I know like the back of my hand. I understand the video is about other issues. Just wanted to add a little sumsum. Hope it helps!
I have a honda compressor that runs good, but hard to pull over when tank is full
If you don’t use the air will the engine shut off?
I got a weird issue here
if i run my gas powered compressor to say 100psi then use some air and try and restart it at times it doesn't want to start back up again it is as if the pump is very hard to turn and turns back
the spring return etc for the idle works all well
its just weird
