The compressor is just the pump itself. No motor, tank, valves, anything. It is a 4 cylinder. Since I found myself needing to use my DA sander a LOT this weekend, I wanted to have a greater supply of compressed air. I had to do some piston work to free up and debur a ring stuck in the groove (a result of the final compression piston deciding to eat a valve and pein the top of the piston all up). I got it repaired and put back together, and found an engine with a v-pulley allready installed (it just happened to be sitting in my snowblower). I hung a belt around it, and it chugged to live with no load on the output pipe. I proceeded to go to the hardware store to adapt an AN-8 flare down to a 1/4" NPT just to help feed my craftsman one-lunger, and when I got the whole business together, the Emglo was huffing air out of the small orifice in the T fitting which is in line with the crank but on the other side of the pump from the flywheel. That fitting is the one I mentioned before as the "manifold". This is the same fitting that 2 ea. 1/8" pipes (one from each head) come to.
I figured that there would be some unloading valve somewhere. Is it possible that it is governed by RPM, and it closes when the pump reaches proper operating speed? Maybe I didnt get it going that fast. To be honest, the pump was lag-bolted to a retired door laying across some sawhorses, and the snowblower was parked at the end close enough to reach with the belt. The whole outfit wasn"t too sturdy. I just wanted to see if it would work enough to be worthwhile. I would take some pictures, but my camera is on vacation at the moment.
