I REALLY don't think someone would toss an air compressor because of a plastic hose. I do applaud you for going through the disassembly process slowly and explaining what everything does. Good video.

sadly you could have made a gasket out of a manila file folder and it would work.

Blown head gasket

Read valve

Judging from the angle of the grab handle, it was manufactured in Sept. of 2007

I have one of these machines. It's got to be one of the worst designed machines. Mine is sitting in the corner of my garage not being used. The pull cord doesn't have enough throw to start it. Maybe 15 pulls if lucky. I dont know if that's normal or not. I don't have your patience.

Mine seized after about 2 hours of use. Do not buy anything Craftsman. It's not the same quality as we remember from the past..!

Chances are the people who tossed it to the curb neglected to tighten the head after the break-in from new. With time, the head got loose enough to allow that piece of the gasket in the middle to get dislodged and the compressor just wouldn't work as it should've anymore, so they just kicked it out instead of dealing with it.

My chain saw was leaking oil. Following your disassembly and repair gave me confidence and made it easy for me to find the leak and repair it. Broken oiler hose from tank to the pump was easy to fix. I now have a like new chain saw getting proper oil on the chain and no leaks. Thank you

Looks and sounds like a real cheap machine.

Maybe 9/2007?

Great job!!

Thank you. My friend's air compresser quit building pressure just last week. I told him I'd take a look at it. Thanks to you, I know exactly what to look for and I'm betting its the same problem as yours. He had left it out in the weather constantly, including the winter. I stumbled upon this video accidentally and was amazed at how simple the repair was. I'm subscribing !

I found one of those too , I removed the intake filter ,fitted and air hose to an old bbq propane tank converted to a “car fluid evacuator” it makes enough vacuum for all the fluids no problem. Great find

Looks another over engineered made in China Throw away Most shops would probably Not work on it Cost more to fix it than it's worth.

Really nice diagnosis and fix!

I am always finding trash treasures. Lawn mowers, compressors and solid wood furniture. Easy money for myself in my retirement. Plus keeps me outta the house from my wife !

OMG. You are so patient. After the 15th pull I would be screaming

Not a engine try a motor

Good job, really enjoyed the video.. I'm sure it would be quite easy to cut a belt cover out of some thin aluminium sheet maybe.. Great channel btw..

Great job 👍..

You have more patience than me, for sure!....😂

Great video. Loving your channel.

I have a 6 gallon Craftsman pancake air compressor. I wonder if it is a similar motor/engine design? If it is, then this will help if I ever have any issues with it.

🇦🇺good job You should have tested the new coil to see what the difference was

I use a 12V trickle charger hooked up to the power cord to test for current using a 12V auto test light.

You had the video to look at which was those parts aligned. Better yet cell phone singles.

I get all my replacement parts at eReplacement Parts or Genuine Replacement parts for OEM parts for just about all manufacturers

Good job.

Use carb cleaner on the rings, it should loosen them

before fixing any air compressor id check inside the tank very well with a scope

Motor ! Not engine !

Nice job fixing the gasket! One thing you really should have been in this video, and any video about old air compressors, is checking the age of the air receiver and examining internally for corrosion. An old compressor may be cheap or free but they are potentially a bomb if the air receiver has any weak spots. Depending on the openings in the air receiver, it may be possible to see internally with the naked eye and a light source, otherwise a borescope through one of the apertures should enable it to be examined. Depending on your needs and what you want to do, it should be possible to source a new or checked air receiver on its own. You can then with the good parts and have your 'own' air compressor that could potentially be better than a ready-made model. As always, safety first. Air may not shock you or explode, but it can still go bang!

That is not a engine it is a air pump

3 years without knowing what to do with my compressor because it didn't build up pressure. I am now seeing this video I think you teach me how to attack the problem tanks for sharing from Mexico

Need to clean the blower off before working on it. Much easier with it clean.

Excellent tutorial!

Thank you for your excellent video presentation. This will help many fix this problem. It is a good idea to use the tank drain plug regularly.

You are more brave than I am. The risk of sudden air evacuation is too great for me to trust a 19 year old compressor. I replace my air compressors after about 10 years. I cut holes in the tank so no one can use them again.

Got the exact same one with the exact same problem the other day this vid will save me a little chicken change thanks.

The HOA. Hates them ear killing compressors

Great stuff it .muskie would do that

I been doing that for decades shop vacs,vcrs,lawn mowers trailsbikes outboards etc. 90% you can save anything non china .that thing gets stupid hot and melts plastic and cheap gaskets .

Interesting. I have this exact model that I have been planning to replace the gaskets but put it off because we have Kobalt compressors for each vehicle. So when I get more important work done I will do the Craftsman compressor. This video popped up with UA-cam's suggestion list.

just below the serial number, Date Manufactured 09-2007. Worst case is hose, switch, regulator, and/or cord for inventory.

Replace the Reed valves & head gaskets, if the cylinder looks ok.

Did you drain and check the tank. Those things are like a bomb when weakened by rust.

That gasket is the problem.

I have same unit, also salvaged. Problem was loss of air when not in use, restarting every 12 min. I undid all the air line fittings and installed Teflon tape on all the threads. Now when not in operation loss is 60lb. in 12 hours. Narragansett Bay

what drill did you use ? Is that an impact driver?
