Not a MEP - newest toy...

[robson1015]

Got this a couple months back for $225. New carb for $15 and cleaned out the fuel tank to get it to run. Runs like new.
Gets up to 175 psi really quickly. Just wanted to share...

Thats a real cute compressor. What fuel does it run on? I can't make out the NSN on it, but it seems like a fun little toy.

Your the one who stole it from me!

A buddy had one and it rocked, so I wanted that one. Congrats, I decided I wanted a smaller unit so I will be putting a compressed air system on my pickup.

For the size, they are great running little compressors. Its part of every motor pool basic issue of tools.

Early versions tended to get the Carb knocked off all the time due to it being on the end of a long air intake.

The HF one is working out just fine and better than i expected. i am now glad that is the one i got.

Oooooops sorry !! Wanted one with the yanmar engine but havent seen one for a while...

No worries, glad it was bought for use, not for turning a profit(resell)!
