    I've rebuilt alot of engine's including high performance, all parts should be lubricated when being assembled, including the 'O' rings, all of them.
    'O' rings can be damaged when assembled dry.
    Proper lubrication of the entire piston assembly is crucial, as a dry start up can cause significant damage, especially to the crank pin.
    This is why these things spit alot of oil when new, the excess oil being used when assembled in the factory.
    You don't need to drown it in oil, simply use a light coat of oil on all moving surfaces.
    This is probably why it wouldn't start up initially, the cylinder walls were dry.
    I'm surprised this thing survived the initial start up, the piston rings especially.
    Otherwise, it was a very good tutorial.

      @roberttill3787 4 месяца назад

      you do not lubricate the upper piton, or the lower one above the piston rings, as oil contamination can destroy your gun, or your fill bottle.. In addition hes trying to start it with the bleed knobs closed which you also should not do. If you try to start with the bleeds closed the compressor is instantly trying to overcome the high air pressure in the machine and whip. This strain can damage the compressor.

      @roberttill3787 I don't agree, they pass oil, and water, period, you should have a filtration system that removes oil and water, or your going to get it anyways.
      I put out a couple of reasonably short videos on my filtration system that is inexpensive, and very effective.
      Give it a look, you might like what I've discovered.

      @@reedsilvesan2197 Just watched your total water control video. You cn get two large filters from another Chinese manufacturer, Tuxing. They also make PCP compressors, and with any compressor the secret is to remove as much contaminants and water from the compressed air. The thing to do is minimise any contaminants first, then filter the resulting air. If your system works for you, fine!

    • @jackmclane1826
      @jackmclane1826 4 месяца назад

      You are both a bit right. The high pressure stage is intended to run oil free. As it would ignite like diesel fuel. A diesel engine compresses way less than this compressor. This is where the tendency to thermal self destruction of those machines comes from.
      This is why I don't like the cheap variants of this compressor that feed the exit of the first stage directly to the high pressure side, without a stop to separate oil and partially condensate.
      Don't use the black Tuxing tubes. They are WAY too lightly build for running 300 bars. I consider those really dangerous.

    I think that changing the entire piston is key when the old one is having trouble getting past 4000 psi. The first stage rings are worn out as well as the second stage. I only replaced the high pressure rings on top and still had the same issue. Definitely replace the entire piston assembly and maybe wipe the inside of the cylinder with a little bit of the Diester oil for start up lubrication also. Very helpful video bud. Thank you.

    Great video. When you turn on make sure all valves are open. Once the compressor is running then close the valves. Doing this on startup does two things it keeps the motor start up Amps low and 2nd less stress on the piston at startup.

    I just did the same thing to mine . I had mine 21/2 years. It just started making a noise and like you said was not pumping as fast as it was but it was still working. I could hook my gun to it and it would fill it just not my tank . It’s so easy to do . People say what a piece of crap this is but I love it . For what it cost it’s well worth the money. And the parts are easy to get and not hard to rebuild. Great video. Thank you so much

      Old video and comment I know, but your still right, I don’t really get it, I had a small 4500 psi compressor, it took 20 to 30 minutes to fill gun tanks. I bought an adjustable pressure Yong Heng , filling gun tanks 31/2 minutes. I went ahead and bought two old Scott brand carbon fiber tanks, just out of date, Yong Heng pumps up a 60 minute Scott tank, I think it’s 9 liters , YH tops it off easily , initial fill I just broke up into two sessions. I don’t get all the hate towards Yong Heng air pumps, most blame the fact it’s water cooled, big deal, the water pump comes with it, you need a 5 gallon bucket and a little ice to deal with water cooling, not that much considering the increased speed over the small compressors. My Yong Heng was like 280 , it’s auto stop on the pressure you set and so far the stop function has worked flawlessly. I monitor it anyway though. Mine started leaking out around that top stainless steel line where it comes out of the top, from that fitting somewhere. I’ve never had to work on the thing , I’m hoping it’s just a loose fitting and not something broken. Aside from this issue though, I love my Yong Heng.

  • @darrinbosley1728
    @darrinbosley1728 Год назад +1

    You should have honed the cylinder, and lubricated the piston rings on both pistons. Engine assembly lube would work the best. The cast iron piston rings are much softer than the cylinder wall. When a set of carst rings are assemble dry, when the piston is moved, it will allow a small amount of the cast to deform. Once the very small bit of cast is moved on the ring it can then bite into the cylinder wall. Which will make the motor hard to start. Just a possible answer.

      I was thinking about doing similar. Also, seems to be best to dry the intake air as well with a radiator and or vortex dryer to condense and then desiccant as with some air compressor designs where the air is dried first, though usually is later alone.

    • @noonespecific9463
      @noonespecific9463 Месяц назад

      If you want zero moisture in your gun air, you can feed your high pressure air pump nitrogen , it’s not complicated to do but you do need access to some nitrogen , it’s really not difficult to obtain and is cheap compared to other gases that are bottled. I don’t do it personally, an hvac guy on airgun nation does it and promotes this method. I have a nitrogen bottle I test new refrigerant lines with, I just don’t think the cost of using it in airguns is worth it. The thing I see many many people on RUclips doing is placing gun or hpa tanks on the floor well below the air outlet on their air pumps, sometimes with 2 or 3 filters they are pumping air through. Just like they don’t know about gravity. Guns and tanks should be above air outlet always when filling, gravity helps then instead of working against you.

    Good video Sir, I’m looking for everything I can find on Yong Heng air pumps , the one I bought is literally identical to the one your fixing in the video. So far it’s worked well , but trying to top off a 60 minute Scott bottle yesterday and mine started leaking from around where the very top line comes out , I’m hoping it’s something simple, I’ve only put maybe 2 hours total run time on it. The temp has never rose above 60 degrees C, I love the YH air pump compared to the small Tuxing 4500 psi compressor I bought when I bought my rifle. It lasted about 45 days , a screw came loose in linkage between compressor unit and the electric motor, this caused linkage to bind up and broke the end of the motor shaft off. The YH cost 50 to 60 dollars more than those small compressors and it’s way faster , my rifle has .6 liter total storage space in two tanks , Yong Heng tops those 2 small tanks off in 3 1/2 minutes. Got to love that speed and having capability to fill large tanks is the best part. Tuxing makes a YH clone that’s colored yellow and black , otherwise it’s just like the blue colored YH , it is more expensive than the blue ones, looks interesting though.

    That stalling issue is most likely because you start it with both bleed valves closed.
    When I top up my tank I start by opening the valve on the tank to
    pressurize everything and check for leaks, high pressure bleed valve closed of course,
    then with the low pressure bleed valve open I start it and then close the low pressure bleed valve and fill the tank.
    Perhaps I should make a quick YT video of the starting and stopping procedures I have found to work that I use?
    If or perhaps rather when, the top of my second stage piston breaks I'll make a new one of stainless steel, just the top part
    not the whole piston. :-)

    @trinitymaker5833 2 года назад +3

    Great video Stephen. What are the chances you could attach a link for the piston and swingarm from Ali Express? It's been my experience that the piston is the point of failure on this style of compressor 90% of the time. As you know (since we communicate in the "real world") my compressor just recently crapped out on me. I thought that perhaps it was caused by the change from Royal Purple to Seco Lube, but more than likely it was just ironic that it happened to fail after I switched.
    I believe it's only a matter of time before everyone experiences a failure with their piston in one form or another. I've experienced a cracked head, and now the attachment point on the swing arm to the crank shaft has canted, and since the swing arm is aluminum, and the crank shaft is iron, the aluminum gets warm, malleable, and gums up on the inside and eventually seizes. The piston on these pumps is definitely the Achilles heel. These issues could be resolved by using a thicker casting, or ideally a milled piston head, and a steel bearing inserted into the swing arm where it seat on the crank shaft. But unfortunately these items are manufactured in China, and the QC of the products is HIGHLY lacking.
    Also, regarding your 90 duro o-rings, I recommend swapping them out with 90 Durometer Cast Disogrin Urethane O-Rings. They are designed for EXTREME pressure situations, and they are FAR more durable than the 90 durometer o-rings you're using now. They can be purchased from the o-ring store ( www.theoringstore.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=367_1322 ) online. Unfortunately the site has limited selection of these o-rings in metric, but you can run the numbers through a conversion calculator and get the closest size to the metric equivalent. I've NEVER had one of these o-rings fail on me. They're rated at 6000+ psi, and they temperature variance range on them is -115° to +250F°. You'll need to know the exact size of the other o-rings or use a caliper to do the conversion. It's better to have the ID slightly smaller than the original metric ones, and the OD slightly larger when replacing.

    I realize this is an old video, however, if you are getting carbon buildup on the parts it is a sign of detonation which isn't good. Detonation is due to the oil being used not having a high enough flash point and probably the incorrect oil for the job. Oils made for high-pressure compressors won't cause carbon buildup as they have a sufficiently high enough flash point to prevent it. Had the same problem as shown above after one year with my Yong Heng, haven't had that problem since changing oils, and the compressor is over 5 years old now.

    My Yong Heng auto shut-off compressor purchased two years ago has been operating strangely. When filling a 3L carbon fiber bottle it runs for one or two minutes then stops. After one or two more minutes it starts up again - by itself and without opening either the drain valve or the pressure relief valve. The temperature is low (40-50 C) and there are no apparent air leaks. I did notice some air coming out of the "breather/oil inject" relief hole but no leaks anywhere else. I am using a 5 gallon water cooling bucket and a fan behind the unit for cooling. As I understand it this compressor does not have a thermocouple cutoff. Have you experienced this? Any thoughts? Thanks!

    Where did you order your parts? I got screwed on marketplace. Figured id take a chance because im poor. Saved a year to get my umarex. You get four shots because its a big bore. But the pump worked decent once, didn't get to 2 k that fast though... And its water cooled. Im trying to find the air that is leaking into cooling pump. Figure its the main seals because it wouldn't get over 3400 psi today. Help would be more than appreciated 🙏🏻

    Hello, thank you for making such great videos. So I have a compressor and once I stop filling I stop the compressor and need to bleed the hose. However, If I slowly bleed the compressor the rifle's valve won't close and will vent all the air in the tank. If I rapidly bleed the air from the compressor the piston valve of the compressor will go bad. Could you please tell me what additional valves I need so I can shut the compressor and then bleed the air safely? Thank you!

    When you break in that compressor, be it new or serviced, you should run it for about 10 minutes with no load, then load it intermittently every 30 seconds or so for about another 5-10 minutes

    I'm having a weird leak somewhere from the compressor that's coming from under and behind the block, it seems like it would be the 'rear main seal' near an output or input shaft , but it doesn't leak any oil and will fill to about 3,000 psi and Just won't go any higher. When I shut the compressor off there is a steady leak somewhere. I've checked all over the immediately available area when I take the blue shroud top off, it seems to be coming from somewhere in between the cylinder block and the electric motor. Any ideas?

    Hi, Thank you for your Yong Heng series, I really find it useful and I am "one step behind you", following your recommendations that is, I see many reviews talking about the water damage inside the cooling system, what would you say of using automotive cooling fluid, same as we use in cars radiators? else, would you use distilled water?

    My yong Heng want build pressure above about 2000 psi. It is 2 months old. I took it apart and the piston and o rings look good. With it hooked to an scba cylinder with 2000 psi in the cylinder and the pump running I am getting high pressure air coming out of the oil reservoir vent plug. Any ideas? Thanks.

    • @dougskucas5004
      @dougskucas5004 2 года назад +1

      It sounds like it has excessive blow-by past the primary piston/rings, a cracked piston or broken piston ring. A little pressure out the crank case vent is normal, but anything above that indicates an abnormal condition.

    I'm probably more deaf than are you, but I've never been able to hear an air leak. Since only tiny air leakage is enough to slow or stall limit air pressure build-up, I use soapy water and a brush to look for bubbles. Many times, simply tightening, or resealing a joint does the job.
