Gman, thank you. Makes sense now. Now I know what the fitting on top of the double piston was haha. I will get this working : ) Thank you for your help, I appreciate it. I am surprised that the old compressor lasted this long pumping all the time.
Hey don, thank you for getting back to me on this. That makes sense. I do not want to ever go through water that deep unless I have another Deuce or bigger with me, so lets just say around these parts I am the only one with a deuce.
So based on this I wander if I can just cap it off for now...
Ok I am now to the point where all I have left is receive gaskets, install pulley, and find out what the side area is.
On my old pump (double piston) I only had 1 copper line which is the "Air out", on the top of the pump their is something that looks like valves, "spring and rod" but nothing...
Scratch that... Took a large wrench and hammered it in between the rear of the pulley, then tapped the inner shaft, heated it, some aviation lube and a little sledge hammer : ) double tap and its now soaking in jasco.
Interesting. For two years everything was ok with the double piston pump lol BUT a few months ago the relief valve started blowing at 60 PSI, breaks still felt strong but I had half the air. I ordered a new relief valve from boyce and am waiting on it.
I will need someone to show me a vid or...
I am not sure. This is why I didnt want to go with the single haha ;) I am in the garage looking at my TMs and nothing. Been at it for an hour already.
Should it be some sort of governer I wonder if I can cap this with a piece of metal and a gasket???
Hopefully someone with this single pump...
Thanks for the info on that. I figured it would push more air faster it just looked old. Then I thought to myself if I have a "never used" part and I am going through all this work I may as well use it.
What is supposed to go in this area I am pointing at. Nothing on the double piston compressor I pulled has this hole on it.
Also something weird, then I peeked into the hole I saw what looked like bubble gum. I poked my flat head driver in and it feels like grease. Does not smell petroleum based.
Ok, good advice. After running around I am back to the compressor again. Did you take yours apart or just replace the two gaskets? I want to take mine apart to replace all the gaskets and realize that it would be nice to have a gasket set. I have been google"ing" midland for something.
Thanks man. I did see that the bracket could use a gasket as well. I ordered some gaskets from Memphis but I am not exactly sure which gaskets they are lol I just took the two they had. I am waiting on those to arrive, hopefully today.
Would High temp locktite work? I have a lot I was going...
Hi guys, Just pulled the compressor from my duece. The plan is to replace all of the gaskets on the compressor and while at it clean, fix and paint anything in the general area of the compressors location.
Steps so far.
1) Pull out the TM
2) Place pan, 5 gal bucket and absorbant under the...
