Hey I realize this is an older video but you were about to show how to hook up the air compressor to the engine idle and thats what I was looking for ... any way you can do a video on that
I have the same emglo compressor and I also put a predator engine on the engine will start with the belt off but as soon as I put the belt on the engine won't start
While working in Construction years ago we had a guy that would disable our equipment after he picked it up at the shop and delivered it to the job site so he would not have to work that day. The first time we found dirt in the carburetor he was fired. It's amazing what morons will do to get out of work.
Kirk Singleton nothing surprises me in the construction world. It's meth heads, tobacco user problems, alcoholics, pill heads, and non learners. Not sure how to fix this highly technical field of work.
I had pinhole leak just like that. I ordered a new tank rolair. 400$ I took the old tank and cut the bottom open with a grinder. I’m getting into welding now. I bet I could hit all the rust off with a wire brush grinder fix the holes or possibly find another piece of metal to weld a patch onto it the bottom.
Great video!! Those gas powered air compressors are really expensive. I can't believe what you paid for them. Wow. It's a bummer about the blue one but I do look forward to watching another video. Lol. You pick this stuff up for so cheap. Lol. The weather in western pa is finally warming up like it is out your way. It was so cold a few days ago.
I live by slippery rock creek and we were hoping that there wouldn't be an ice jam because then theres a possibility we would get flooded. From my bedroom I can see the creek no problem and were surrounded on three sides by the creek. lol. Its pretty close. We didn't have any ice jams after everything melted. So that's good. lol.
Doublewide on Black Friday I scooped up a Kobalt 155 psi 3gal air compresser for 79.99 normally 129.99 so I think I did good but my question is will that work for changing my mower blades ?
I've been looking at putting a gasoline engine powered compressor together and using the 3 horsepower predator. the specs on it say the shaft spins counter-clockwise and I'm wondering if I need to worry about having a special air compressor pump that turns counterclockwise as well.
I have the same emglo compressor with a robin gas engine. Gas tank keeps getting rusty. Always taking the carb off and cleaning. Are the new predator engines safe to use with the new ethanol gas?
Predator motors are good for $ for me its always an ethical dilemma but I cant find any US made motors in the size range. Make sure you add oil and run it for 30 40 mins then flush the oil and refill with str8 30W. I also put a fuel cutoff valve on the feed line, turn it off while motor is running till it starves for fuel. Then you can go a couple of months until ethanol destroys the actual gas. Stabil will give you a bit longer but I typically drain fuel out of items if I know im not going to use them for awhile.

How did you hook up the kick down on the throttle when the tanks fill up with air.

Yeah, I heard Pittsburgh had the same cold but it stayed longer. It was really nasty here with the wind.

Tell me how you figure that either one of them internal combustion ENGINES is a motor? Im curious!

Mount it backwards if need be.
I have the same old emglo compressor that doesnt idle right any more. New one is 1600 bucks and changing the engine should be easy and somewhat cheap

They're good as long as you don't let the ethanol sit. Drain the bowl and tank if it's going to sit for more than 1-2 months. Very reliable.

Good info on the motors, thanks.
Your welcome!
Thanks for your sharing G. B.
Hey, If you fix that leak yourself I'd love to see a video. I have a older sears compressor that works great but has a pin hole leak also.
I did weld the leak check out my doublewide6 channel and search for air compressor leak.
I was thinking if I found a compressor tank cheap I'd use it to build a rocket mass heater.
What is a rocket Mass heater?
Rusted air tank.. That sucks.
Buzz Kill. Can't win them all.
Find a dead 60 gallon compressor and mount the compressor pump on it. Use the engine for a Troy Bilt Horse tiller(great money).
I'd try JB welding a metal patch on that tank.
Just got an 80 gallon for $50
that sucks!
And were you able to have a crap and pick your nose?
