Thank you for this video! You have literally saved me a hundred dollars or more. I almost bought a new one and was planning how to get rid of the old one. A friend of mine had seen this video and suggested that I just fix the compressor. Thanks again!!

Aside from the main topic of interest to me. This is probably one of THE best/most concise instructional YT vid ive ever seen -you set the bar...Nicely done!!!

You did a very good job explaining the step by step in vivid detail. Hats off.

You just save me a lot of time. I appreciate it thanks

Great video! OMG... Thanks for not holding the camera in one hand and doing the work with the other! I can't stand ppl who make videos like that 😂!!! Easy fix. Thanks for the warning on the capacitor!

HELLO FROM FLORIDA THANKS man👍👍🇺🇸

Great video, thanks for explaining this. Trying to fix my smaller husky air compressor, the valve style is different but I hope this is the issue.

You can safely discharge the capacitor by crossing a screwdriver shank across the terminals while holding the driver by its insulating handle. Other folks may not know that. You can also use an insulated jumper with insulated alligator tips each end. Cross the terminals for about 30 seconds.

My thoughts exactly. Will try it this morning. Thanks

I have the same proble with mine! I was going to using and when I plug in wire to receptacle, started and shut off. never turn on again. does it have a reset button or do I need to buy replacement kid. Great video...KUDOS!

Thumbs up for Yugo :) hello from Slovenia

Great video! Does anyone have the link where to buy this part ? Thank you

Is there a way to fix nozzle that you connect the hose too?

great buddy , but just a tip i put mine a few min upside down and i take the plastic cover and i spin the propeller with hands, first it was stuck a bit and it was moving more freely and the idea to put it upside down is to make to lubricate piston at the top of the motor. my it work without changing the gaskets or doing any opening apart of the plastic guard

Hi Eric, my compressor will start up then go down to not running at all. Kind of a slow motion with motor sound. Did yours stop running also.

Hey my 8 gal Harbor Freight is leaking oil between the motor and the actual compressor. Can that bearing/seal be replaced?

Great Video! Thanks

do they sell a switch for a cambell

Great video!

Awesome video !

What if it is doing nothing plugged it in and nothing, it is one someone gave me looks almost new but I noticed oil down the side of it

Well gooten exsplained, Very helpful cheers 😜 And don't touch flux capacitor

I have this compressor... But mine does nothing when I flip the switch... it actually sounds like it's going to do something but just doesn't... Any ideas what's causing it?

thank very informative

What do you do if the capacitor is blown and needs replaced (without touching it)? Genuine question as this is the exact problem I have with mine (GMC 2HP 50 Ltr)

Did your compressor try to run. Mine has just stopped, can't get it to run so no compression.

Wow 4 yr old video still helpful. just had one fail myself. But not finding any link for the parts?

Sir, what would happen if a little bit of old gasket material falls inside on the cylinder when you blow clean after scrapping?

How did you know how buy the parts mean I got one different from craftsman but I don’t know how can find the parts ?

very informative thank you.

Where can i find a compresor junkyard?

Discharging the capacitor is simple.. make sure the mains power is unplugged, using an insulated screwdriver 🪛 just short out the 2 terminals on the capacitor. Make sure you are insulated from the metal bar when you do it.

Very nice video

Where’s the link for parts bud?

Yep, your Right! I went..."Say WHAT?" You knew, you Should've used "Medium ft. Lbs" of torque for the first X pattern bolt tightening sequence, then tightened Fairly Snug... IMO a Bit Chancy, to not use a torque wrench with the proper ft. lb. spec's. But hey, it worked! Cheer's!

I have the same Husky Compressor. 10+ yrs old. Intermittently stopped or wouldn't get passed 50psi. Got fed up and got the kit. Followed all the directions. Now, I have to ask you or anyone really. How in the he** did you get the old gasket off? That was probably the most difficult part of the process. Didn't get much info online. Tried plastic putty knife/razor blade, paint remover 3 times, but it was on there. I took off the exhaust and the inlet filter portion, and boiled the aluminum head for a couple of hours, and scraped with the plastic putty knife/razor in the pot. The boiling really helped loosen the gasket material, but it did make the paint peel., but thats mostly covered by the shroud. Let it cool, then took a 150 grit nylon bristle wheel from HB to remove the remaining bits. Cleaned everything, plumber taped the exhaust, reassembled, and now its running like new. Sounds smoother, and held psi like a champ. Thanks!

I’m having the same issue with the same compressor

Thanks farmer man

Bravo!!!🎉🎉 You saved me $179

Good and tight, is enough

What if It shorted out

losing my mind actually began with the capacitor and became official with the razor blade on the machined surface. hahaha

I just looking at the Yugo no every day see that car.

ground the cap out

my air compressor is building max pressure in the tank but its not blowing any air out of the hose, very weird...what do you think is wrong w/it

Discharge the cap using a high grade craftsman screwdriver,touch both terminals.

I got coil problem anybody cant help me aome wire got bit by mouse

My compressor blows the circuit breaker when turned on. Same compressor as this one, could this be the same problem?

I'm off to save some air compressors. I knew there had to repair parts out there. Many people do trash them or cannibalize them. I have a small HF oil less benchtop hotdog compressor that recently pooped out. To bad Yugo didn't stick around. A teacher of mine, way back in the 80's, had a sweet little orange two-door hatchback Yugo. I really like that little car. He maintained that thing in top condition. Too bad there were quite a few problems with some of them.

Who did u order the parts from (Amazon?)

Whats the name of those things he replaced???

where did you buy the parts

My husky trips all the breakers after about 5 minutes. It stopped compressing too.

I don’t see the link for the parts

Ah yes, the German virgin torque spec.

Ah the German torque spec, Goodentight!!

The motor stalls when I attempt to start the compressor. Any thoughts?

What's the model # for that husky compressor all the information on mine fade away

Well, I'm going to subscribe. You started me off doing a video on something I'm interested in and you didn't do a bunch of talking about anything except the project. Also, you don't look like an asshole. The older I get the more I trust my impression of how people look. Am I always right? No, but more often than not I am. If someone looks like an asshole, they probably are.

How do you know exactly what you need it to fix it when you didn't even troubleshoot it ?

Yugoooooooooo!

whats with the yugo?

Mine just stopped working. I flip the power switch and nothing happens. Any clue what might be wrong? Please help!

But my compressor is brand new

Is that a real Yugo?

Owner of Yugo?

Shows how to discharge the capacitor !

Societies have become 'throw away'

When you say be careful with the capacitor thing Do you mean like don’t touch it at all ? Or what exactly?… You make it look so easy but then you say stuff like “be very careful with the capacitor thing because you’ll die”. Kind of throws me off 😏

If you care so much about the capacitor, you should, -- then tell people to unplug the power.

Its easy when you have new parts you do not have to make them.

what a bufune, over the capacitor, its take seconds to discharge it, if its even charged

Before attempting this repair...DISCHARGE THE CAPACITOR!!!
