Air compressors

IMHO i think the compressor would end up burning up a 7.5 hp motor as it is a brute. I've been keeping an eye out for a 10 hp horizontal gas engine for it. I was just going to grab a 5 hp to get me by. I am planning to hook up an extra 60 gallon tank I have for volume as that's how we did it when I had my motorcycle shop. When the compressor kicks on take a break and build volume. I've been watching for used ones in Salt Lake but haven't found a reasonable used one yet. I do know one thing whatever I buy will have servicable/lapable valves and not reed valves.

Thanks Mike
