110V Air Compressor Rebuild
It's my observation that many air compressor performance problems are caused by dirty/malfunctioning reed valves. The compressor must run longer resulting in more heat build up and the associated problems caused by heat. My compressor showed virtually no wear on the cylinders. The motor ran fine and the bearings are tight and smooth. I ordered a service kit (GAST K260 , $103.12 shipped to me)from Isaacs Fluid Power Equipment Company (888-336-8501).
This job can be easily handled by one person but a 2 year old grandson makes it more fun!!
Check the flatness of the mating surfaces with a flat file to assure a good gasket seal.
