Is my compressor shot?
Thanks Jim, much appreciate the offer. unfortunately I'm in Ontario Canada. From what I've been googling with oil leaks, it could be a plugged intake filter also and I know that it's in need of a new one bad. I would blow it out every once in a while but that only works for so long.
Thanks Ken for the point out on capacitors. Those would feel warm when the reset would trip. I took one cover off and it "looked" good. No testing done tho.
Weird cuz when everything was hooked up and reset tripped, I could spin the pulley by hand to find the right spot where it would start up. This would take maybe 4-5 tries. Once running it.would build psi as it is sposed.too and cutoff at 135psi. Them on cut in psi it would hum, and/or move ever so slightly and trip the reset on motor....so could the tripping and oil "leaks" be related?
Obviously a ferrule is needed for copper pipe. I'll see about a replacement intake filter.
So took intake filter off and covered intake with my hand and turned pulley over. It sucks in my hand, so that's a good sign.
I removed "check valve"(not sure of proper name) and the bottom seat was slightly cocked. I tapped it and it fell back into place? Looks like bottom edge of it is worn away on the out lip?
Thanks all.
