    Hello! Please help me with the electrical connections for 220 V to an electric motor lesson 190011-53.Now it is connected L1 T3 T5 T1) and L2 (T4 T8 T2) and when i power it up it short and the fuse blows i think this is the 110v connection i need the 220v connections.On his wiring diagram it shows 110V LINE (T1 T3 T8) for 220V LINE (T1) TAPE (T2 T3 T8) LINE (T4 T5) But because I don't work with electric motors, I don't understand the scheme, it confuses me at 220 volts. Thanks!

    What if you have a single stage pump that pumps up to 225 ? Then the first 10 years of its life it ran 175 off and 150 on with a 4.5 hp 220 electric motor . Then at 13 years old it got a 5 hp motor 220 again . But no cheap Mexican motor no a baldor reliance industrial motor. And a 1/2 bigger pulley moving the compressor pump from around 875 rpm to around 965 rpm . Now after that work was done my brothers-n-law said did you get a new compressor he looked at it as he said that ! He said why is it not dragging the way it use to? I told him he said now I got a compressor! He worked in a truck shop and ran a dozer for half his life . They always had the big 3 phase ingrasoll Rand 480 powered compressor. But he said that’s great my compressor doesn’t run a long time and kicks off faster because it’s building up faster . It’s 80 gallon with a 3 cylinder pump and it’s the only compressor I’ve ever used that I could run a D/A and while using it non stop this compressor will cycle out it will keep up with the ingrasoll Rand old school D/A build up and kick off while running it the whole time ! Amazing single stage compressor. That’s were all the out let’s are hooked to the compressor . I’ve had to over the years replace all three head gaskets and one set of read valves in one cylinder. I keep the oil changed when I can see it’s dirty in the clear window . That’s about once a year . I’ve always wanted the dual stage IR model 253 type 30 . Great explanation of the types of stages . Thanks for sharing an I’ve subscribed and liked this video . I’m thinking I’ve bought from your eBay store front . Check valves and the puma air filters I have to make them work in my compressor because they don’t make the right ones . Discontinued 20 year old kobalt well it’s at least 18

    I don't buy polyurethane or plastic tires on my car and I don't buy polyurethane hoses. Most of the stuff I own is decades old and will last decades more. They're making stuff cheaper in America and it's very noticeable. They don't want stuff to last 40 years they want it to last 40 months and the inflation to match. As a customer you've got to make careful decisions. You can't trust the Amazon rating system as people often times post ratings before they even get the product. I've seen products on Amazon with many many thousands of ratings 4.8 stars drop to 1.8 stars a few months later. Hybrid hose I'm just not a hybrid kinda guy.

    If you have replaced the check valve and replaced the pressure switch and still have air leaking through the unloader valve on the pressure switch, then you may need to make a slight adjustment in the clearance between the pin at the end of the unloader valve and the paddle switch. I had this problem with a switch on a Senco 0968 compressor that is like the black one in this video. The pressure switch has a small lever or paddle that pushes a pin at the end of the unloader valve when it shuts off. If the unloader valve leaks air after the compressor shuts off and keeps bleeding the pressure down to zero through the unloader valve, check the adjustment between the pin and the paddle. There is a nut just behind the pin on the unloader valve that offers some adjustment and there is a screw that secures the unloader valve to the pressure switch housing that also offers some adjustment. The adjustment needed is slight but it can correct the leak and allow the compressor to hold pressure. Worked for me.

    What I am seeing is, my exhaust valve is leaking when the compressor starts up. So the whole time it's running, the exhaust valve is leaking. But when it shuts off, the exhaust valve stops leaking and everything works as normal. What would this be?

    I have a question, btw, I liked and subscribed because you are very knowledgeable about something I need help with. Well, here goes, I added a series of copper lines (and a water separator just before the tank) in a grid on the wall for cooling, about 70 feet in between the compressor head and the tank to get rid of all the water. When I did, the line isn't letting the check close until all that air in that line empties. The 70 ft. of copper line takes about 3 minutes to bleed out thus wasting a fair amount of air. Is there anyway to fix this and is this doing any harm to my compressor? It did get rid of almost all of the water out of the tank, btw.

    Can a load genie be replaced with a conventional check valve if I replace the switch with one that has the 1/4" unloader nipple on it? My old Speedaire doesn't even have a switch. It just plugs in and goes. I like it because it's a quiet oil pump type so I'm hoping to save it. The noise coming off the load genie sounds like a blown rod bearing on a car.

    I was always told the poly hose is what you need as a carpenter and I’ll admit that they are tough but they are harder to roll out and roll up. It’s not the biggest issue but u can’t just wrap it up like a power cord all easy how ever you want, I love pvc personally it cheap,flexible and easy kinda like my taste in women but I recently stole a dewalt hybrid from trim and finish crew (they had it coming bunch of A holes, I don’t feel bad about it whatsoever) anyway it’s quickly becoming my favorite n go to hose .next time I go to buy a new one I’ll get a hybrid hose not a dewalt tho I’d be more than happy with a harbor freight one
