Oops..darn it.. I went and posted this in the wrong section of TBN...now I don't know how to make it right so I guess it's a done deal.......okay ISEKI members.....I sort of cheated and didn't exactly build this but rather put it together as a kit.... It's what I needed..... now I have the portabilty of a cumbersome uprite 60 gal stationary that will run off 115 volts without any problems it's quiet running compared to a direct drive piston type...
this one delivers 11.5 cfpi. @ 90 lbs..... the twin cly.compressor/115/230 volt electric motor/20 gal. tank/ air regulator were all purchased @ different times from Princess Auto with the exception of the pressure cut off switch plus a saftey valve set @140 lbs. that I salvaged from an old blown Briggs & Stratton of mine called the "BRUTE" and was a direct drive unit...that burned out both reeds...Uggg..
This switch was a bit confusing to me... as it originaly had 1/4" copper tubing connected to it that run from the tank output to the bottom of this dumb switch...this to me made no sense as I found out that it did nothing but cost me an extra wasted $15 in a new extra length piece copper tubing plus odd type fittings that leaked like crazy when I installed it all.....
so I removed this dumb switch and took it all apart removed this original dumb connection fitting put it all back together... it don't leak and it shuts of @ 125 lbs and starts up @ around 90lbs....go figure.. anyhow here are some photo's of the finished product as promised.....take care <> Ampa
