- I build a Large receiver air compressor for less that $200. I use a 250 gal propane tank, 16 cfm Swan Air Compressor and a 3 hp electric motor.
This air compressor is for the Langmire System 4 x 8 Crossfire XR Plasma Table, we are setting up.

How long does it take to pump up the 250 gallon air tank
250 gal tank holds about 317.63 cuft of free air when compressed to 125 psig at 68F. The compressor is a 16 cfm compressor at 125 psig. Approx. calculated time is 19.85 min. at sea level. Reality it is about 25-30 min. We live at 4000 ft elev. so that and it is a used compressor would account for the extra time. Good question thanks for asking.
The carb was really in amazing shape. I have had good luck with aftermarket carbs from Amazon. They are inexpensive Asian replacements, but I would be that most all carbs are made in China now. Once the setup to make them for Honda or Predator motors, it take nothing to make a lot of them quickly and sell them on eBay and Amazon. Great videos too. Thanks for the one on the Silvey tree jack rebuild. I used to use them when I taught high school vocational forestry in Sweet Home, Oregon years ago. Silvey donated a set to our high school program.
Thanks for watching,
Hello Randy,
Good video, cool project... See you in part two...
Take care.
Paul,,
Thanks Paul. fun Project.
Good video Randy.
Thank you Mike.
Great work Randy, now you have a frankenstein compressor and a Honda motor, cheers!
Yes for sure. I guess the next project is the Bride. Thank you Howder.
Hard to beat Honda engines! Nice work Randy.
Thanks Bob, for sure, great engines.
I should have started with part one. Really interesting Randy.
Well yeah, it is a series. Thanks.
You know Randy when I wake up in the morning and see you posted a video I can't wait to see it but I wait until later on when I will be at my computer and can enjoy it full screen and without interruption. I have picked up so many tips and tricks from your videos... I almost yelled out load when you got her to start first pull... That is so satisfying. Thanks for sharing another great video!!!!
Thank you John. Just luck mixed with skills. Now I think you are a man with skills, love your channel.
Very nice Randy! 👍🏼
Thank you Yuchol.
Awesome Randy! Nothing like a good old cast iron compressor pump, should last for many years. Honda engine starts on first pull..👍👍
I'll be back..for part 2
Thank you Dean, For sure.
first pull ... what a prize!
Got lucky . But it does run good. Thanks Frank.
Awesome , going to be a nice build.
Thanks Brian, you need one.
@@RRINTHESHOP I have plenty of air from my Devilbiss and if I need more I always have the almost 100 year old Champion in reserve. 🙂
@@bcbloc02 Nice.
Nice work 👍🏻
Thanks Craig.
very nice Randy! 👍😎
Thank you Doug.
Morning Randy! That's going to be a good series. Can't wait to see it.
Thanks Craig.
This is going to be a fun project to watch. First pull? Wow!
Thank you Brian, Dumb luck.
Congrats on the start!!! I love playing the compressor swap game.
Thanks Greg. What else to do with it.
Great video, Randy! Nice to have good friends! Really great score on an excellent compressor! Lucky the storage didn't do a bunch more damage to the engine and compressor... Looking forward to the next video on this project! Thanks for your time and sharing, Randy! 👍😎✌️
Thank you James. Yeah the storage was outside in the weather for many years.
My stepfather built a compressor from a 250 propane tank.. I recently pulled it out the old shop that's falling down (termites) to my discovery it's a ingersoll rand v235 vacuum pump from 1958.. No wonder it was so slow.. Anyways I got a ingersoll rand 2545 brand new for less than $100 (thank you uncle Sam for throwing our tax dollars away) I'm planning to build myself a nice compressor now..
Looking for insights to make it the best for cheap.. 5hp motor 16cfm, 7.5hp / 27cfm, 10hp / 35cfm.. I can't go 10hp because that's 3 phase.. 175psi.
Nice. It all depends on your air volume needs.
There we go,this will be a awesome build!
Thanks, for sure.
Great job Randy. Very nice machine work to make that carb part. Now you have a nice running Honda engine for another project and your electric compressor. 👍🇺🇸Roger
Thanks Roger, yes not quite sure where the engine is going to end up yet.
Nice job! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Wow nice compressor 16CFM @ 125psi for single stage
Sure is, Thank you.
To remove cork easily, cut it with a thin walled tube chucked in a drill. Sharpen the tube by spinning it against a grinding wheel. Drill out plugs from the center of tthe cork with low risk of pushing stuff into the tank.
Great tip!
Great video Randy hope your taking care of yourself sounds like your all pluged up with a cold.
Wishing fast recovery Randy and hoping everything goes well else going good too xxx
All Good Troy, thanks.
@@RRINTHESHOP ❤
We have about six or more honda motors like that on compactors, wood spliter, pressure washer, sod cutter and generator. I i always found they are the best motors. Nice repair Randy. Looking forward to part II.
Thank you Randy. Yep great engines.
It's not luck that it started first pull. It's a Honda! haha
Yeah for sure. Thanks Jason.
First of all, please do not intemperate this as criticism, far from it, but I suspect my comments are frequently misunderstood, as I get angry replies. I am trying to look at this as an educational piece for individuals who may not be as grounded in basics as you obviously are, and i am as well, but many who attempt to repeat this may not be. Some of my comments may be safety related, some may be "oopsie" avoidance, some may be time-saving or frustration avoidance, but none are intended to be criticism. Having said this, what was all the carburetor stuff about? For the average guy, a trip to the local rental center could have gotten all the components necessary, as they generally have a fleet of small engines that die from causes that do not include accessory failure, like carbs, ignition components, etc. that are set aside by the tech for a "rainy day", and you just might be the rainy day. Also, congratulations for not trying to remove the needle seat from the carb, as this is definitely an "oopsie", as the seat is not meant to be removes and breaks. I mean, a new carb takes care of a number of ills, but it blows a hole in the budget, even if the "take-off" engine is considered an asset. If the intention was to verify the operational status of the compressor, why not just go to the compressor, check it out internally, and freshen it up while you are there? Check the cylinder bores, lap the valves, reeds, etc. I intend to view all the parts of this project and comment as questions arise. Again, please do not view this as criticism, it is intended to expose additional aspects and information that others may find helpful. BTW, how do I go about getting one of your insert-style angle milling cutters? I enjoy the challenges you accept, and wish you well. Please continue posting.
Thank you Bill for your observance's. Since most people watch the videos and 2x they miss all of the conversation of the why's. I do not live where parts may be available, I enjoy a the challenge, I have the skills and knowledge to accept those challenges. You may want to watch the rest of the series. Email me for the details on cutters rrintheshop@gmail.com.
Awesome uncle Randy. Im goin to fix mine as well. Looking forward to the next part.
Sweet. This was a fun project, Thank you Ca Lem.
This was just awesome to watch Randy. Solid carb restore. That is a nice motor no doubt. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Phil. Works great.
Looking good there Randy. That carb mess is from alcohol in the gasoline. It soaks up water like a sponge and then corrodes the heck out of your carb. The first time around with getting a engine running that had that mess I found it was cheaper and easier to just by a new carburetor. You can get them on ebay for less than $25 (at least you could before all this inflation). A rebuild kit costs almost the exact same. I have a couple of spares in my tool cabinet for the next corrosion event.
Thank Harold. I thought about it, but I had the time.
I found a new replacement carb for my Honda like that for less than $20
Delivered...
thanks for the info.
G’day Randy. Nice work on the carburettor repair. This is taking shape to be an amazing restoration. Warm regards from Downunder. Cheers 🍻, Aaron
Thank you Arron.
that engine starting up on the first pull didn't have anything to do with luck there Randy.. that's skill at work buddy!!
I will go with that Mike. Thanks.
BETWEEN TAKING MY LATHE APART AND TAKING MY LATHE APART,I'VE FALLEN BEHIND VIEWING YOU TUBE VIDEOS, I DONT THINK I'VE SEEN A CARB BOWL IN SUCH A STATE.
Well you know a lot about your lathe that is a plus. Pretty bad for sure,
Thanks Kimber.
That carb reminded me of my first car, a '65 Chevy Corvair Corsa with four single barrel carbs, all with spoiled gas like yours; smelled like puke! Four times the fun!
Nice. Thanks John.
👍
Thank you, HNY
you can buy the carb for 12$ on ebay
Thank you
goos proyect randy
Thanks Tr.
1 pull it's a Honda
Yeah for sure, Got to love them. Thanks Dave.
