![]() Parts are available (separate valve and gasket kits). I've already been through the CHpower site. Steve - here's some of the data you asked for: The unit is a Campbell Hausfeld "Extreme Duty" HS2810. No gage on the intercooler (that would be nice) just the tank. UncaJ - good idea about the mechanics stethescope - thanks, I'll try that to see which cylinder to look into first. Are other items like rings and bearings normally replaced at the same time? ![]() I'm assuming I'll need both a valve kit and replacement gaskets. Having never rebuilt a compressor, my question is what parts are normally replaced? Just what turns out obviously bad upon opening it up? I'd intend to run this for, hopefully, decades more at mostly light weekend duty. The tank had a few tablespoons of slightly rusty water in it when I bought it, but no evidence of blown-by oil in the mix. Judging from the previous owner's other tools, I'd assume this unit was frequently but not professionally used - maybe 20 hours a week or so. There's a bit of air pulsing out the breather cap when running. I'm assuming the first stage valves are likely bad, since it does reach full second stage pressure.Įxternally, the unit is very clean, the filter is in excellent shape, and their are no audible air leaks when shut down or visible air leaks in gasket areas when running. The compressor reaches full pressure (175 psi), but takes forever (well, ten or fifteen minutes) to reach pressure (80 gallon tank). I recently picked up a ten year old 2 stage compressor to get a bit more air.
