I'm installing an air compressor (I believe it's an SC4) on a Perkins 6-354 (naturally aspirated). This is the style of compressor that bolts to the left side of the engine block. The manual doesn't cover the plumbing for the compressor.
There's a small-diameter tube fitting on the crankcase end-plate (of the compressor, not the engine). Is this the oil feed to the compressor? Where does the oil feed come from on the engine? Should there be a restrictor in the oil feed line? The oil appears to drain back to the engine crankcase through the base of the compressor.
There's another small tube fitting on the compressor cylinder head, apparently the air-pressure sensor for the compressor governor. Should this tube be taken to the air reservoir or is there another place it should be connected? Does the compressor have its own air cleaner, or is the intake drawn from inside the engine air cleaner? Is there any external valving on either the inlet or outlet air line?

Once started it putted along pretty good. It
