Harbor Freight "McGraw" DIY Compressor Repair
Переглядів 6 тис.6 місяців тому
My old compressor pump locked up. So I upgraded the pump and motor for less than the cost of a used compressor. It was important to me to get a pump with its own oil, not a pancake pump. I went with a Harbor Freight/McGraw 3.7 HP pump and a 5 HP SPL Vevor motor. The offset in power was done purposely, by design. youtube.com/@arduinoversusevil2025?si=5DS4_gxrDDXStebY www.harborfreight.com/37-hp-...

      Thank you. A $16. Pulley fixed it.

    • @ffsdirtbike
      @ffsdirtbike 4 місяці тому

      The motor is rated at 3100 watts . The initial test that resulted in 38amp draw was performed with a 5k watt generator. Did you watch the entire video?

    • @anthonypiper4263
      @anthonypiper4263 4 місяці тому

      @@ffsdirtbike Correct. That is full load amps. The starting (locked rotor) current can be be or 6 times that amount when first starting. A clamp on amp meter will likely not catch that initial current load because it happens so fast. That initial amp draw is what pulls the generator down so hard. When powering from commercial power there are near unlimited amps available so that initial amp draw is unimportant. You would be must better off running your air compressor off an 8 - 10 kw generator. Although you are now able to start it with the smaller pulley, it is still hard on the motor and generator over the course of time.

    • @ffsdirtbike
      @ffsdirtbike 4 місяці тому

      In the video you can see ,with the original pulley, when I flip the switch on - with an amp clamp on one leg it shows a spike of 42 amps . This would indicate a starting draw of 10,080 watts. “ confirming what you are saying “ After downsizing the pulley, the initial start shows 19amps per leg or 4560 watts. And at full pressure it draws 11.5A per leg=2750watt just before cycling off . That is with in range of my generator. I appreciate your comment and comments like yours because they make me go back and double check my work. Many times I work off of intuition and in this case the sound I know the generator and compressor should make . Now that I have actually gone over the numbers, I know my generator is fine and will do the job , and my compressor will last many years. I can hear it when it starts. It’s making the correct noises. It’s not struggling. This is based on decades of working in shops next to compressors. I do plan on upgrading the power in my garage and adding a proper 240 V. Shore power outlet. I hope you keep watching my videos and keep commenting and keeping me honest . Thank you, sir.

    Hi I also have a 2003 KTM 450 EXC. when I purchased the bike it worked fine but after an hour of riding it the stator failed. I brought it to a mechanic and he got it running again but electric start wouldn’t work. Only kick, and this thing has crazy compression, almost pulled my leg trying to kick it. Anyways, I decided to strip the bike and rebuild it and powder coat the frame. The wiring was a nightmare from previous owners. Anyways, after bringing it to 5 different mechanics nobody can figure out the wiring harness until the last guy. He got the lighting harness to start working but whatever he did he couldn’t get any spark. He says he doesn’t know if it’s CDI or not. I assume not, since it was starting perfectly fine and giving spark before I stripped the bike. Anyways, if you can help that would be great. I’m located in Toronto Canada.

      I’ll be glad to help. I’ve been in a facebook group called “ktm rfs owners riders fans” in this group you can have access to all wiring diagrams , test procedures and good advice from some members. If you haven’t yet I would suggest joining this group. I plan on making some more RFS videos soon. I get a lot of wiring questions and I’d like to go over what I know and also I have an upgrade stator and cooling fan for mine yet to install. Thanks for watching and I’ll try to help out if I can.

      RFS Voltage Checks Yellow wire feeds ac to the lights, white wire charges battery (via regulator/rectifier) Checking the generator output Measuring conditions: - cold engine - seat and tank removed - all connectors and the ground connection in a non-corroding condition, connectors tightly connected - battery loaded (if installed) and light switch turned off - compression release lever pulled - kick the kick starter forcefully at least 5 times for each measurement Check the generator output for voltage between the following cable colors: - between yellow and brown (ground), loom disconnected Multimeter display: 15 volts +/- 1 volt - same measurement with loom connected Multimeter display: 12 volts +/- 1 volt - between white and brown (ground), loom disconnected Multimeter display: 19 volts +/- 1 volt - same measurement with loom connected Multimeter display: 14 volts +/- 1 volt NOTE: The black measuring lead of the peak voltage adapter must be applied to the ground.

Checking the voltage regulator-rectifier A defect voltage regulator can cause different kinds of trouble: • No voltage in the circuit In this case, the voltage regulator must be disconnected at idle speed. The voltage regulator is defect if the power consumers now work properly. If the power consumers are still not supplied with power, the switch, the wiring harness or the ignition system must be checked for defects. • Excessive voltage in the circuit The bulbs burn out. In this case the voltage regulator must be replaced. Checking the charging voltage NOTE: The values stated below only apply to fully charged batteries (minimum charging level 90%). - Start the engine and switch on the low beam. - Connect a voltmeter to both battery connections. - Accelerate the engine to a speed of 5000 rpm and read the voltage. Nominal value: 14.0 - 15.0 V In the case of a significant deviation from the nominal value: - Check the connector between the stator and the voltage regulatorrectifier and the connector between the voltage regulator-rectifier and the cable tree. - Check the stator. - Replace the voltage regulator-rectifier Resistance checks: Ignition Coil Measure Cable colours Resistance primary coil blue/white - ground 0.30 $ 15% secondary coil blue/white - ignition wire 6.30 k 20% Stator Ignition Measure cable colours Resistance Pulser coil red - green 100 S 20 9 4K-3B (EXC) Exciter black/red - red/white 15 2+ 3 S Charge coil ground - yellow 0.65 8 + 0.15 g white - yellow 0.16 S # 0.03 S Voltage checks Measuring conditions: - cold engine - seat and tank removed - all connectors and the ground connection in a non-corroding condition, connectors tightly connected - battery loaded (if installed) and light switch turned off - the gap between the rotor and pulse generator must be set to 0.75 mm - compression release lever pulled - kick the kick starter forcefully at least 5 times for each measurement Check the pulse generator for an output signal - two-pin connector with green and red cable colors: - Apply the red measuring lead to the green cable and the black measuring lead to the red cable, disconnect the CDI unit Multimeter display: 4.5 volts +/- 0.5 volt - Same measurement with CDI unit connected Multimeter display: 3 volts +/- 0.5 volt Check the generator charging coil for ignition capacitor charge - two-pin connector with black/red and red/white cable colors : - Apply the red measuring lead to the black/red cable and the black measuring lead to the red/white cable, disconnect the CDI unit Multimeter display: 30 volts (35 volts for 400 SX) +/- 5 volts - Same measurement with CDI unit connected Multimeter display: 200 volts +/- 10 volts Check the primary voltage output for ignition coil control for output voltage (blue/white cable color): - Apply the red measuring lead to the black/white cable (ground) and the black measuring lead to the blue/white cable, CDI unit and ignition coil connected Multimeter display: 200 volts +/- 10 volts This diagnostic flow chart page was written by a very smart very helpful tech. named Kevin Parker.

    9:36 there seems to be a few people under the impression that the cam timing is wrong. 180 off. If that’s what your friend is telling you, perhaps they’re talking about the more modern 450 and not the RFS. I would suggest consulting the RFS repair manual if that’s what you’re working on. I didn’t ask somebody I looked at the manual.

      I ran my wires from the battery over the sub frame, and they nearly touch the gas tank before then traveling down toward the starter. Up and over rather than down through the airbox. I’m not sure if that’s how everybody does it. I avoided drilling any holes in the airbox that would let water in.
