What Air Compressor Do You Have?

I have 2, a 6.5 HP 60 gallon Coleman 2 stage, 220v, and a 5HP 30 gallon crapsmen oilless that I use when that F'ing POS Coleman is broken. The Coleman blew oil when I bought it new in 2002. Warranty guy repaired problem. Then I got to know the warranty guy on a personal level, because for the first 3 years of ownership, it never went more than 4 months without an epic fail. Blown head gaskets, blown transfer tube gaskets, etc. Finally, the motor burnt up with 4 months left on the 3 year warranty. I do need to give Coleman some credit here, because let's just say I was less than polite when I called them that time. Especially considering that at the time, I counted on this thing for a living, and every time it broke, it was a week to get it fixed....

It was at this point that Mark (the warranty guy) told Coleman how much of a POS this thing had been since day one, and Coleman sent a new motor AND a new pump. And for the next 6 years was a good, reliable machine, with the lone exception being the transfer tube gasket, which went the week after the warranty ran out. At Warranty Guy Mark's suggestion, I found a GM EGR gasket that could be modified to fit, and that ended that problem.

Then came new years day this year. The motor cycled as normal, but seemed to shut off kinda abrupt. A few minutes later, I looked over to see the motor ON FIRE!! Soooo....... it's back to the noisy, obnoxious little crapsmen for now, till I either scrape up the coin to fix'er again, or dig a hole and bury it and buy an Ingersoll........
