Sears air compressor engine won't run when plugged in
Comments (7)1. I would suggest isolating the compressor from the pressure switch which might allow you to use the compressor if the contacts to the starting capacitor and starting capacitor are working. If you add a male plug to the end going to the pressure switch you will be able to use a short extension to power the motor. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> A. You should hear the contacts click to verify their contact and the compressor should power up. B.If no click and good power, ck the contacts in the end you see off to see they are clean to make good contact. If they appear clean, rem the starter capacitor on top of the motor and get an electric motor repair shop or electrician to test it. 2. If the motor and compressor works well w/o the pressure cut/off switch it can be replaced. Before spending too much time, ck the bottom of the tank to know that it has not rotted to bad to repair, “since you mentioned leaking”. My initial leak after a yr in 1973 was just a pin hole. That a sheet metal screw and rubber O-Ring has worked on since then. Bang on the bottom good testing because if it has not been drained it could be bad. 3. Attached is a motor that pulled in too much dust vs paint and stopped until I cleaned it....See Moreold Homelite ST-180 string trimmer starts but won't keep running
Comments (3)Hey Bill, thanks for the response. I've taken the starter off the back and removed all visible screws holding the 2 halves of the case together. I can >almostPS: I needed to get the grass trimmed, so went out to buy another trimmer and ended up buying one of the current Homelite's (a UT20046) ... and it's a very very far cry from the sturdiness of my old Homelite (you get way you pay for I guess. I was looking for cheap and I guess I really found it)....See MoreStihl Chainsaw - starts but won't run
Comments (78)My 1997 Stihl TS 510 Brazilian made cut off saw (same metal base as a chainsaw, carb's a Tillotson) ran well for 10 minutes, then lost power if under load, but would spin up if not under load and sound ok, but bog down again if loaded. So, I replaced the ignition coil with Stihl part and it coughed once after a couple pulls but didn't start, then I have a very short shot of ether, ran for .5 second, then, no more signs of starting. Pulled carb, looked at hoses, cleaned carb with brake cleaner, diaphragms look good, it ran a second on first pull, then no coughs, nothing. The upper seal on the carb, just below air filter is not completely torn, but is thin and tattered. There is a very small gas leak, a few drips around the hose attachment onto the big rubber fitting that pushes with some effort into the metal hole the hoses run through to the gas tank. IDK if the Tillotson is original, or the last guy had problems? I took the hoses off, blew through them, no visible issues. I think it's a fuel issue. What's my next move?...See MoreI won't run out of bunnies to decorate with
Comments (15)Karen, Karen, Karen, I'm speechless! WOW! Guess I had better not be looking for bunnies for you at yard sales this summer! Well, they do say rabbits multiply at a fast rate & you are here to prove that now, aren't you? LOL LOL I may be slowed down a bit, one of our female Shih Tzus is ready to deliver a batch of puppies anyday, tried to talk my 14 yr old grandson into staying home & delivering them while I go to sales, but he didn't like that idea! He said he'd go to the sales for me & I could stay home with the puppies, but he's too young to drive yet! LOL...See MoreBumblebeez SC Zone 7
