Hi
This forum seems to have more info on these compressors then any other place on the net so I had to join to kick in a question or two.
A few months ago I bought a Compair Holman 185 compressor so I can sandblast the 70's Bobcat I am restoring. I've got a separator on order but found out the previous owner bypassed one of the safety cutouts on the unit that actuates the fuel cutoff on the engine.
There are 2 plugged ports in the area where it appears this safety was removed, I put a gauge in the upper port that looks like it was most recently disturbed and it is running at full output pressure so it would definitely trip the fuel cutout actuator.
Any idea if I am on the right port and there is a legitimate problem or if i just have the wrong port?
Compair has been less then helpful, its taken them 3 weeks just to give me the separator part number and just tell me the unit is too old and they likely do not have any books on it.
