    I own the that exact same pump got it new on an Air America made by DeVilbiss , 27 years old , has been a charm, replaced the reed plate and gaskets , upper end GASKETS needed 😊for that job, reeds had no lite passing Thur ,cleaned with de carbonizer , perfect.That was 6 years ago, been my best buddy.started getting louder , bottom end more so, then upper ,pulled the pump drained the oil thur the paint strainer , normal discoloration, always use wolfs head air comp. 10w30.needs to come apart , and before I open her up, want to be sure parts are somewhat available, well I have called many of the repair and sales and they say bearings obsolete, don’t want to get into cam bearing substitute, if I get lucky and find something close, specifications appear to-be non extent , So What I’m saying is HELP PLEASE Randy Carbeutor

    I cant pump up pressure. I think I got a hole in the tube that goes from the low side to the high side. I hear it leak and I put a rag on it and the noise goes away. I have not removed it yet to see if there is a hole in the tube or a gasket leak. I will squirt some soap on it tomorrow. What is that cooler thingy on the intake side. I want one of those. I just have an air filter set up in that location.

    Hi there, very informative thank you. Would either of those models be a good piece to consider adding to my truck as a permanent fixture? Mainly, during long runs, I really have no way of properly and quickly to fill up my tires. it's a 1 ton dually pickup and heaven forbid i need to top up 4, 6 or 7 tires on in the middle of nowhere with nothing but the 'cough' heavy duty box store brands? They need 80psi, one time when one was real low, i am quite sure after 30 minutes of nearing 70psi is why that compressor died. Much obliged. also, id like to know what you might recommend for such a solution to invent.
  • So the two stage is better, I need something for spraying cars Auto body work. The one I have right now is a single stage and it won’t keep up with my spray guns. Thanks for the video.

    hey i have a 180gal 200psi tank i just bought its a saylor beal. and it hit over 200 unless the gauge is off...anyway i just bought it i think it might be from 1972 it doesnt look all thaaaat old but is that tank still safe to use to 200 psi? water drains a little orange but not brown
  • @mrjohnysex
    Can I convert my single stage pump to a 2 stage pump I have Campbell hausfeld 60 gallon 6hp
  • @rotarycomptech
    How can you possibly say that a two-stage air compressor will as you put it recycle quicker Then a single stage air compressor when the overall displacement is larger in the single-stage machine then the 2-stage machine case in point in a two stage air compressor the capacity of the machine is only the displacement of the low pressure piston does this make sense to you? Also maximum interstage pressure is only 45 PSI not 70 check it for yourself with a gauge
  • @davidharris7618
    Dumb question. I have a V pump. Does that mean it's a 2 stage? Also I'm looking to replace it. Do I have to use the same brand because it's been discontinued. What has to match up. And how do I know horse power. I have a Campbell Hausfeld HS750000P right now. I know this an old thread. Thanks for any help. Or I need a piston or valve rebuild kit which I cant find. One of the rubber seals is broke.
  • @allb4dinner962
    i have the compressor on the left what size electric motor would i need to run that
  • @510Redneck
    I have a U.S. general Compressor in a garage I purchased... long story short it stopped building air, ripper her apart and the "stainless valves" are worn down. My question is where do I buy the darn little things?  I never thought in my life it would be so hard to find a few small pieces of spring steel to get me up and running again, until now. lol   Any help would be appreciated since my tire machines etc. currently run off of it.  I'm looking to upgrade sometime this year with a new pump etc. but need to get myself back up and going in this location for the time being since I'm currently in the middle of a pretty major truck build for a unaware veteran returning home soon.   Again, any help would be appreciated in this concern (finding said stainless spring steel "valves" to buy). If you can link me to someone to buy these little parts it would be GREAT!    Thanks~ Red
  • Looking to buy 5 HP 80 gallon air compressor but quiet one , what is your recommendation?
  • @johnsmith-qz4bv
    can u use the single stage pump on a 60 gallon compressor....?..
  • Just want to ask another difference between single stage with two or more cylinder and a multi-stage with two or more cylinder is their size in piston, since in a larger piston large volume of air is suck having a low pressure, and goes into an intercooler then to a smaller piston to compress the cooled compressed air to higher pressure. in single stage no matter how many pistons a compressor have as long as it have same size of pistons it can't compressed further to a higher pressure. Hoping for your reply thanks.
