Hi All,
I recently inherited a Schramm air compressor. Our father was going to fully refurbish this machine before he unexpectedly passed. We intend on selling it, but want to find the right home for it. We don't just want it to end up at someone's garage, getting used to it's death. I know very little about the compressor. I just bought a new battery and when I turn the key, the engine turns freely and air builds up immediately. I don't even know if it takes unleaded or diesel. It's been sitting for about 5 years. (Dad broke his hip and wasn't able to move around much the last few years).
Thanks in advance to all the information. I'm new to this forum and will do my best to provide the requested info and to reply. This thread gave me a lot of wonderful info.

distributor, spark plugs, and carburetor mean it is gasoline
look in the tank and if it is clean then dump some fresh gas in and try it
if junk in bottom of tank then use E85 to clean it out first

GOOD LUCK

Those were wonderful machines back in their day .I repaired several over the years . It would be good for a guy to run a blast cabinet with ...

Perhaps You could find an antique tractor club that would appreciate and take care of it.
