mine runs smooth and idles ok, it's just the air cylinder doesn't have the ash or stroke to push against the governor arm to make it go to idle.

That's a real nice looking trailer. Were the tanks rusted inside? I'm curious because mine look to be already coated with either paint or some kind of epoxy. I like the extra plumbing to the pumps (valves). That's what I'll be doing to mine when I'm ready for that step. How does your engine...

Yeah, Saturn does have the spin on adapters listed for something like $43 and change. I know you can buy quite a few cartridge filters for that price though. Once you get that governor straightened out, let me know how it works for you. I'm going to get mine adjusted here this week and then...

the air governor on mine it located on the tank to the rear of the trailer, connected to the same block the pressure gauge is in; that's what unloads the compressor and is supposed to cause the engine to slow to idle as well. If your unit ran up to 200 PSI, you'll probably need to disassemble...

Yeah, I know what you mean. I loved hearing mine roar to life when I first tried it. I would've thought yours had the spin-on filter, mine must have been converted over sometime then, as I've got a spin-on filter. Does your engine have a clutch like the manual says it should? My compressor...

Great video. As far as the oil filter goes, you should be able to use any spin-on filter you want to as long as the engine has the standard 3/4" fine thread stud. Just get one with the same seal o-ring diameter. 5 to 10 micron should be plenty for filtration. After I get mine running a...

I was doing some checking on my air compressor in my trailer today. I posted a thread about adjusting the governor on the 4a032 engine so I can get this thing running like it's supposed to be. I know the engine is rated and governed to run at 3600 RPM, but that seemed awfully fast to me. I...

Saturn also has the complete filter assemblies for something like $14. I know it's less than $20. Unless they were sold out.

well, I did a little more work on the trailer today. I took off the air unloader, and took it apart and cleaned it, and took off the cylinder that actuates the throttle and cleaned it as well. I also cleaned the throttle cable and de-greased the throttle linkages to they work a little more...

aboonski, I don't know if you found this in the TM or not. Or if you figured it out already, but here is the operation instructions for the alcohol dispenser for the trailers. right click and "open in a new window" for a larger picture. It's not the best but it's what was in the manual I...

most of the fuel lines on mine have been replaced over the years with copper tubing. In the video you can see the copper line running up to the glass fuel/water separator at the top. I would think that the copper would be a great replacement since it's not going to be moving a whole lot. I...

aboonski, Here is the video of the Lube Trailer running. I took it today after the rain settled down. In the beginning, when I'm cranking the engine you can hear it wanted to start but didn't. I'm still learning the characteristics of this engine, so rather than stopping and setting the choke...

aboonski, I just got back from an out of town trip, I will get a video in a day or two for ya'll and post it here on the forum. In my original post I had mentioned I was going to install ball valves like you did, I think that is a way more practical way to do it. Since it isn't going to be...

I just had the carb off of my atv earlier this spring and the float is small, but I don't know if it would fit or not. I may have to look into it a little more. If you come up with anything please let me know. Rather than replace the carb, I think I would just look for a plastic float.

Thanks for the tip. I had read in one of the posts about floats swelling, but was unaware of what caused it. I need to work on the petcock for my fuel shut-off, then I will definitely empty the bowl. I assume that just letting it run till it shuts itself off would be good enough? Has...

Here are the pics of the beastie. You can see in the last picture, the air pressure gauge and the governor. There is an air leak out of the top of the governor, and like I said, the settings are no where near correct. I assure I could probably take it apart and rebuild it. I don't know for...

Well, like the title says, I pulled the trailer up out of the yard today and started going over it to start it up. I had to remove the broken tank drain valve, just plugged it lightly for now so I can still drain it when the air pressure bleeds off some. Put a few gallons of gas in the tank...
