Craftsman Air Compressor Not Building Pressure Fix

Craftsman Air Compressor Not Building Pressure Fix
The little foamy thing is the INTAKE FILTER, not for noise reduction. The exhaust on an air compressor is what fills the tank.
@@Regg363 Yep got it, that has been addressed in the comments a few years ago shortly after the video was published. Thanks for watching and good luck!
"Then i gotta get him stuffed" 😂
My heater core cracked at 235,000 also😂
Legend, cheers dude!
Why VW? Do you have to create a complicated extra step?
You didn’t great. You only went to the hardware store once 👍
@@sheldon8115 I had an old timer in the plumbing aisle help me out, you can’t buy wisdom.
It’s called a T&P value =Temperature and pressure valve not overflow.
@@user-ke9ub5wo5c thanks, I’m prepared for plumbers to bombard me with comments, all are welcome, I’ve never done this before and wanted to give it a go. Thanks for watching!
Great help man ❤
I wonder if mine has same problem! Thx for identifying and making this vid!!!!
Drain the gas tank and see! If you drove in the rain or through a large pool of water across the road like I did you probably have H2O in the gas tank; good luck 👍🏼
Hilarious 😂
great job Chaz .. I see they are selling this tool now .!
Next time edge it better with a weed wacker to get the edges of the asphalt, move that basketball base, and use a clean sealcoating brush. It will go down more evenly, and you will use less sealcoat and ultimately look better when it dries. Props on doing it though. Its a tough job. 👍
@@paulg.6120 thanks for the tips, most projects I film on here are first time attempts and welcome any additional feedback. Thanks for watching!
My craftsman compressor will build pressure to about 40lbs. Do you think it's a different issue? I tried playing with the pressure valve, but it didn't make a difference
@@andrewh3101 you probably have a slight tear or chunk missing from the rubber gasket and it leaks too much to build past 40lbs. Rip apart and take a look it’s easy enough to do. Good luck thanks for watching
@@andrewh3101 if it holds at 40 without losing pressure it’s the gotta be the pressure valve, not too many things other than that.
@@ProjectswithChaz Thank you. I will rip apart and take a look.
@@ProjectswithChaz Turns out it was the gasket on the copper air hose that goes to the reed valve. Bought reed valve kit for $9 and it now works great and doesn't loose any air when full. THANKS
you didnt show it build to pressure 150 u didnt show prices of parts!
@@bjacker7019 it was building pressure the needle was moving, I wasn’t going to film 3 minutes of loud noise and a needle. Prices are probably double now from when I filmed thanks to inflation. Thanks for watching!
What was the problem?
@@jeffreymartin3605 The article I show at the end of video is about water coming through bad grommets in the expansion gas tank. I drained tank and it fired up. I have yet to fix, there are tank refurbishing kits I’ve been looking at purchasing, for now I’m avoiding rain and puddles. Thanks for watching!
Like the idea
It worked like a champ. Many people on here hating the idea so it’s not for everyone, use at your own risk ⚠️. If you’re steady and build it correctly it’ll get the job done.
The bolt to the crank arm is sealed with loctite I wouldn't take it out just to put it back in
Good advice since the creaking/clicking noise was definitely the bottom feet plate screws that were loose. Everyone reading this tighten up the bottom bolts first then give it a ride. I’ve done it a couple times since this video. Thanks for watching!
Are those flags 3x5?
No maybe around 18” x 24”?, a 3x5ft flag on the lake would snap the pole in half after a few days of wind. It’s very windy on our lake with nothing to obstruct the constant breeze.
@@ProjectswithChaz I am looking to use 1 1/2" outer pipe and 1 1/4" inner pipe; basically, another 1/2 inch in pipe size. Do you think that would be able to handle a 3x5? Your video indicated you used 1" and 3/4" pipe.
@@jrhagerman5697 I personally wouldn’t go that big of flag, most yard flag poles handling a full size flag are big heavy duty poles like at a school. I’d order a smaller one first and test.
@@ProjectswithChaz Thanks for the insight!!
FANTASTIC VIDEO WITHOUT ANNOYING MUSIC. THANK YOU.
Thank you sir for the video! I got my parts off Amazon! Hopefully it will last another 20 years!!!!
What sealer do you use, and do you know sq footage of your drive i have 3200 sq ft
I don’t know the sqFt of drive but I used 13 buckets from Costco. They don’t always carry so you have to time it just right when they have in stock. Good luck thanks for watching!
@@ProjectswithChaz thanks
Super helpful!
rockin roll man. looks like it’s my turn. thanks
Take your time and spend a few $ more for a good replacement parts. Thanks for watching!
My compressor builds pressure but it all goes away when you turn it off. Need to start over, building pressure each time you use it. Is this the same fix for my problem? Or is something else wrong? Thanks
Never mind! I tipped over my compressor and found a hole in the bottom of the tank itself. Mystery solved.
@@user-bq6hb2zd8b there’s a release screw cap on the bottom that should be opened up after use to release air and moisture. Looks like you’ll be buying a new compressor with a hole in your tank, good luck!
@@ProjectswithChaz Update! Sanded the little bit of rust and fixed the tiny hole in my tank with JB Weld. I bought a new release screw from Amazon for $8 and it now works good as new! My husband was ready to buy a whole new compressor! Guess he owes me. 🙂
thanks for your help
interesting Mercury has a hose hole built into their motors
Air compressor don’t have an exhaust what is this moron talking about there’s an inlet ambient air and outlet which is the pipe to tank
I subbd bro ski, like ya style!
You rock. Thanks to you I got my compressor going again.
Sweeeet. Nice work! Thanks for watching
I did the same when I broke it
You can buy a water alarm sensor for about $12 and it will let you know the pump failed earlier than without it.
On mine I did a few extra steps: buy a 2nd pump and connect another discharge pvc pipe just like the one you moved from the old pump. Keep this spare pump on the shelf. Then when the pump dies i can swap in a new pump with only the one screwdriver and no other tools. And I can do it without going to the store first.
Our previous home had a sump pump fail and the basement flooded due to high water table area, we had insurance that covered flooding due to mechanical failure; water heater, washing machine, sump pump, etc. We had a plumber rig up a backup run on a battery and an alarm for cresting water in the croc. Our current home has a corrugated pipe for overflow safety that takes the water somewhere… probably around the foundation?! Our pump rarely goes off from outside water but the alarm is a great suggestion, thanks for watching!
This video saved my ass.
How long does your compressor take to build up air? I have the same one and although it works, it seems to run for a very long time to build up pressure. Thanks!
I’ve never timed it but it takes at least 5 minutes plus to fill. It’s 20+ years old and from Sears… I’m just glad it works.
Awesome video 🤙
You saved my husband's life. I ordered a big chandelier online, and I told him he'd have to borrow a 24-foot ladder. It's really a stroke of luck that I saw your video before he borrowed it.
Walking around in the attic can also be dangerous so tell him to take his time and to lay down some planks to walk on. Thanks for watching. Good luck 👍🏼
You da man! I'm on it!
✋ "PromoSM"
thanks chaz the video was very help fixed my compressor for $14 thank you
Awesome! I’m always glad to hear that my first attempt at fixing my compressor actually helped you and others. Thanks for watching!
Stevie Y. would have hired an electrician! But seriously, nice job. Go Wings.
Steve is too busy with his YzerPlan (creating the next HockeyTown dynasty) to do home repairs!!! Good luck if you attempt and thanks for watching.
Well I bought mine used about 20 years ago at a yard sale for 150 and it's not building pressure I guess I can invest another 100
I just used mine last night on all our cars, winter temps require adjusting psi, she’s still kickin. Good luck!
why another 100, you can get a kit for about $40 now days, used to be $20 before sears sold craftsman, then the only other thing you need to do is open up the bearing and flush it clean with break clean then repack it with grease, the whole job will cost you about $50 and 30 minutes of your time. a couple words of caution when reassembling, don't over tighten the head bolts, they screw into soft aluminum and can strip pretty easy and you need to wedge the rod when tightening the cooling fan because of you don't get it tight enough the bolt will back out and the cooling fan will start wobbling until it finally explodes......
For clarification I have yet to ski the upper peninsula of MI; it’s on my bucket list!
Great news idea !!!
YEA THAT ONLY WORKS IF YOU HAVE A ATTIC SPACE BUT MOST OF THE TIMES THERE'S NO ATTIC SPACE !
Then this video is of little help to those without an attic. I’d rent an extra large folding step ladder and do it myself in that situation, good luck and thanks for watching!
Love the videos, Chaz!
Alternative thinking!
I have this same one but mine builds pressure to about 35 psi and then shuts off, what would cause that?
If the same model there’s a black knob that can be turned to set the pressure to shut off once it reaches a certain pressure, try turning to te right to see if it builds beyond 35 psi. Not sure what else it could be, good luck and thanks for watching!
@ProjectswithChaz ive turned that all the way up, could it be that unit that is bad and just isnt allowing it to go higher
Maybe that’s all that it can build to due to worn gasket or parts? You can try a rebuild for under $100 or treat-yo-self and buy a new one.
Yep you sew like a dude. It got the job done. 😂
Best video ive seen on winterizing - well done!
Thanks Haus!
I did this exact thing on the exact same compressor. It ran good for about 10 seconds and it threw a rod. Snapped it off and the plastic fan cooling blade exploded. Something else is wrong.
Dude that sucks, sorry to hear. Thanks for watching, sorry I couldn't help.
