Well, I got my leaks fixed and fired up the compressor. Problem is it will only pump to about 50 psi. When it gets to that pressure, the motor continues to run, the pressure holds and there are no leaks evident. This is a Sears (919.152920) that is the direct drive to a dry piston compressor type (as opposed to belt driven with a crankcase and oil type unit). Is there a common failure mode for these compressors. They seem cheap and no oil makes me nervous. Is there anything serviceable like new rings or valves? Maybe I should just save my money and buy a new upright. As always- thanks in advance for any input on this. The compressor was free and I already have $15 in it. Don't want to overspend on this fix. LOL

take the model number to the nearest sears service center, or you can look it up on the net at sears web site, theres a rebuild kit for most of them runs about $30. Replaces both cylinder and piston, makes it just like new..

Remember--if you go to buy a new compressor--the thing to remember is cubic feet per minute--how much air will it pump! A low CFM will not make enough air pressure to run air tools, nor keep up with a spray gun, except a small touch-up gun! Orbital sanders, air impact tools or air wrenches will get you out of air to run them very quickly. Most of the ill-informed think that H.P. is the thing to look for, and it does help to have higher H.P., but CFM is really the thing in usable air compressors! I had a small oil-less compressor one time, got it from a friend as a freebie, was an ancient piece, but i used it to spray small jobs, and it never quit from lack of oil. But, i had to use a bleeder gun with it-thats the kind where the excess air pressure bleeds off when ya quit spraying and uses the spray gun with the concave bottom. I think it made 35 lbs when in use.
