*Construction seemed sturdier than other units I considered **MyBest.Tools** Noise level was reasonable. Good pressure and cfm capacity for a small reasonably light compressor.*
This is a great repair video. There are others but yours is the only one that gives us the size torx bit needed to remove the shroud. It saved me from getting a whole set of torx bits when I only needed one. Ther images were all clear and the explanations were very well done. Thank you.
Good video. I finally repaired my compressor last week. My kit came with a new valve body and air filter. The cover was my biggest fear as I saw another video that destroyed the cover. That was a unique way to change compressor ring. I disconnected the connecting rod from the motor which added some steps and stress. In the end it worked fine and I was impressed by the simplicity.
I was impressed by the video, it was a great help. Especially the removal of the cover. I had no idea what type of screws were holding it together. Thanks for the help.
If you cut this video off bc he added some music to a video he did a great job equalizing the voice over to overcome the music then possibly you should just wing it yourself and not watch this repair being done which clearly was better then others I’ve watched. I saw a guy hack his plastic cover and make a custom plate to let the fan direct the air back to the motor. As well as remove the line to the tank Unnecessarily as he just moved the head to the side as shown here. Spot on man my kit is coming in the mail tomorrow and I’m glad i watched this looks like 10 mins of work 👊🏼. My compressor will get to max psi but take about 30 mins doing so. It helps if I build pressure to 40-60 psi then turn it off and let it go again it’s maybe 20 mins instead. Still this is no way to have a compressor run as these are extra noisy. The faster it can get up to max psi the better. I’ve also had to replace my drain nut on the bottom of the tank. It had a load and I mean a load of junk inside it brown ish color from backing up. I kicked the compressor on with no nut to free it up and boy did it make a mess however I saw no other way to get it unclogged as bad as it was. New drain nut and she’s back in business. Don’t want this tank rusting out from the inside very dangerous as I’m sure it already did some damage from previous owners neglect. People asking where to get parts no not from craftsman they discontinued parts but it’s a common part between hundreds and hundreds if not thousands of compressors. Part number for kit is k-0650. It’s the same for my 60 gallon tank make sure the bearing on the connecting rod isn’t bad as well while your in there. I really like the slide to the side head move with the air line staying on. Pretty clutch time saver and using the extension bit with a driver to get the deep screws out of the cover. Rock on man. With videos like this it helps anyone feel good about going inside and doing what seems very daunting. It’s truly not -UA-cam master mechanic knowledge is power. One other thing is it’s good to clean up the reeds in that plate that open and close to allow pressure through. Spend a few mins making sure those are tip top clean and Alittle lube on piston ring and seals. Hands down best video I’ve seen on this rebuild process. For this I thank you good sir.
Still no air filter! I don't care about the music. It has the information I needed. Thank you for that! I don't think my compressor, bought new at Sears came with an air filter. I'll do the rebuild and get one.
Great instructions easy to follow. I cannot remember if you mentioned the different torque settings. No problem, as it should be mentioned in the instructions. Thanks for making it easy.
What I have always done, and I've had compressors for more then 10 years, use a scotch bright pad, as a airfilter for the intake..... Cut it into a circle and if you have to use more the one stacked.
Wonder why in your description you say *Not so simple fix Rebuild pump* If you have the right parts and 15 minutes, if that, and should be done. I found it very easy to work on. Made one hell of an improvement getting from empty tank to 130 psi. >NOTE - Feel the top of the tank when it shuts off. That is HOT, so as it cools, pressure will drop ~10 psi over a couple of hours. I've had mine for +20 years and always leave in the On position, so there is always air without having to start from zero. It'll drop pressure down to 90psi over a week and comes on for around 90 seconds and shuts off at 130 psi. Aside for being very noisy, it's been a really good compressor.
@@dannymingle6903 I ended up buying a new reed plate, (couldn’t just buy the reed valves on my model. Craftsman) It was very easy to do. The piston ring and sleeve were worn out too. Had no idea these things were so easy to work on and now it builds pressure fast up to 150psi.
Just this year started having the issue where the tank filled up super super slow but never got to the point where it would cut off even after at least 20 minutes of running. I will be taking that apart tomorrow
Hey there got to say again I really really appreciate you! The part came today I put it in and the compressor got up to power in moments! I was astounded as I had not seen it build up in quite some time.. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I learned a lot watching your video. I think I can do it. I have a 33 gallon upright compressor similar to yours. However I do have a question. I have a burned out capacitor that was one of two. Any suggestions as to where I can get one?
I'm having an issue with a Craftsman 919.166441. The tube that comes off the top of the head, popped off. It seems there's a part or gasket of some sort ( it's red ) that goes between and connects/seals the tube to the head. I can't find the part I need for that...??
I have a similar Craftsman air compressor, but not sure if I'm having the same problem. The tank will fill, it holds pressure, but no air will come out. Even when I disconnect an adapter, there's no pressure. Would applying this fix resolve the issue?
Hey question I have an old 30gal craftsman just like this one on the video 5star 30gal 6hp 135psi max but mines starts and runs fine no leaks but after it warms up it trips the breaker every single time around 60/80psi. It also only has 1 capacitor says 30uf +\- 6 and I used my multimeter to measure capacitance and it’s at 29.96 all around. Fan has resistance which is normal and I am Wondering if it can be my actual breaker box what do you guys suggest? I am out of ideas after researching like crazy on google and UA-cam!
sure, have you considered trying to use a different circuit so it'll trip a different breaker? If not, I'm looking at the motor itself as the problem, and not the start capacitor.
I subscribe to your channel because you were no b******* you did it straight up the only thing I did notice is you didn't happen to put a new filter on the air intake probably be a good idea you don't want to let dust getting in there anyways good job
@@HomeGaragechannel: After contacting Craftsman, they sent me to Devilbiss 800-445-3988. I didn't call but ordered a few misc parts on Amazon to attempt the repair from measurements and assumptions. I only needed the Picton seal but the other gaskets would be good to replace too.
What if i didnt mark my compression sleeve. How can i figure out the way it was in there before? Is teflon tape necessary on the check valve downstream from the head
Thank you Caleb Wilhelm for the comment. Are you reusing your original sleeve? A new sleeve comes with a mark on it already. I wouldn't have realized that it was marked except the information booklet told me. I think Teflon tape is very good insurance.
@@HomeGaragechannel i had to knock out the riveted gaurd over the low pressure reed. I then flattened the original reed and put a slight bend in it towards the valve plate. Drilled two knew holes and bolted in the reed with custol metal tabs going from the bolts over the reed. I then slightly spun the sleeve and manually worked the piston till i found the spot with less resistance. I fixed the leaks and cleaned out the check valve. It ran good and built pressure till the h.p reed broke. Fini airattack compressor is a piece of junk. But ill get it running. Thanks
@@HomeGaragechannel another good thing to do is to mark the head bolts to remember what threaded slot they went into. Also mark down the side of the head , valve plate, piston sleeve, and lower block.
Where did you get rebuild kit from my compressor just took a shit on me and won’t hold pressor it’s a craftsman also called sears n get nothing but the run around
HI, thanks for this video. I will want to do this over the winter and will save a link to your video.! My Craftsman compressor is very similar and I wondered if you would happen to know how to adjust the cutout pressure on the pressure switch. I would like to adjust mine down a bit as it cuts out a bit over 140 with compressor having a 150 psi max.Please let me know if you can help with this!
My compressor starts working and builds pressure up to 150psi but sometimes during work it will not start and won't keep tank charged. Sometimes it turns on only for a few seconds then goes quiet. Sometimes I hears something that it wants to start like air going somewhere through the pipe for about 2 second and then quiets and stays like that. Fails to keep up pressure in tank when I use it. Pressure goes low as 50psi but compressor doesn't start. Then I had to open drain valve to release remaining air pressure in the tank. Disconnect it from AC power for few minutes and it starts working again build up to 150psi again. I don't hear any air leaks. What could be wrong??
That compressor needs almost 14 amps to start normally.If anything at all is sharing the circuit-it will trip the breaker.Put it on a dedicated !5A circuit-or 20 if the tag says...
@@HomeGaragechannel I genuinely forgot to reply to you I found out it’s that cover on the back of the motor that holds the compactors it was broken so if I wiggled it it would start right up under load
*Construction seemed sturdier than other units I considered **MyBest.Tools** Noise level was reasonable. Good pressure and cfm capacity for a small reasonably light compressor.*
