Two Stage Compressor Help/Troubleshooting

[snpower]

Ok I am back in business. I picked up a FEL PRO gasket making kit this morning and made a new gasket for the valve plate. The gasket I received was incorrect. Everything is working as intended now!

I'm glad to hear it was a straightforward fix!

All the best, Peter

Many moons ago I bought an old, similar compressor that needed new reed valves very similar to what the pictures show. I had a long feeler gauge that was thin enough to make new reeds out of. I used it for msny years until the tank rusted through, even though I always bled the condensate after use. Upon taking it apart to attempt repair, I found the power cord wires had missing insulation where they entered the pressure switch. Looked like it had been that way for a while, just lucky I didn't get zapped!

This is the exact reason I have hasket material on the shelf! A ball peen hammer to tap gasket out, cut outlines and the use hole punch set for bolt holes. Have exhaust gasket also!
