FANTASTIC VIDEO WITHOUT ANNOYING MUSIC. THANK YOU.

Thanks for this vid. I'm repairing my 1999, Craftsman Air Compressor with the same problem. It builds pressure but takes far too long. Now off to the parts hunt. Great vid. 💯

Thank you sir for the video! I got my parts off Amazon! Hopefully it will last another 20 years!!!!

Thank you so so much for this totally unappreciated video. I have the same exact air compressor and it just stopped building air. Im gonna follow your video and rebuild mine 👍👍

Hey Chaz! Thanks so much for the DIY video! I have the same exact compressor and ordered the parts like you stated and completed the rebuild without an issue! You're video was extremely useful! now for the beer as indicated in the video!

Thank you for the video, I now have 2 compressors to fix. 1/2 of the video the sound went so faint I could barely hear you, but the information is very useful. Thank you

You rock. Thanks to you I got my compressor going again.

Outstanding Chaz... got the same model with the same issue.

thanks chaz the video was very help fixed my compressor for $14 thank you

Go Wings been a long drought eh ! Have the same Stevie Y jersey ! Thanks for the vid it will help I believe have a two stage Craftsman not making air !

Thank you duraango mexico

thanks for your help

HI, Thanks for the video! I may do the "rebuild kit" over the winter. I'll save a link to your video for that. My compressor looks like the one in your video and I wondered if you were familiar with adjusting cutout pressure on that pressure switch. If so could you provide any info on adjusting the pressure switch?

these rocking piston airless compressors are built under many different names, mine is a devilbiss but it looks exactly the same and uses the same parts. really critical to make sure there is a filter element in the intake housing, these things can't tolerate any dirt or dust going through them as the piston seal is the most fragile part.

Thanks Chaz, I just got a congratulations email from goggle the other day for finally getting 100 subscribers. LOL. I have subscribed to yours. I have a 20 year old Craftsman I used a lot 20 years ago building my house. Last twenty years, not much use. Now and then with a impact gun on vehicles. Cleaned the foam air filter this week and it was only building to around 80 psi. I checked all connections and fixed any small leaks. Today it only went to 40 psi. Took off the shroud and started it to see if maybe the head gasket was bad. All I could hear was the compressor with it running. Turned off and could not hear any air around the head area. The fan turns really easy. Seems no resistance at all. Can see piston going up and down. Weird thing, maybe. I had never run it without the foam air filter. I was expecting the air to be sucked it. Instead it was being blown out. Is that normal? I hate to take the head off, if there is possible something else wrong. Do you have any suggestions. Probably you will say, take the head off and see if that gasket on the piston is torn. Ebay link might also help.

Without an air filter for the intake, that thing was designed to fail early on, especially if you're using it in a dusty particulate environment! The motor shroud is not going to do much to keep dust and dirt out of that piston gasket. Thanks for the video, Chaz! Now I can fix mine, too! ;-) Question: could you have salvaged that old plate with some rust remover like Blaster (Metal Rescue)? Would be good to have an extra one on hand if salvageable!

Great video, but your "exhaust port" is actually the intake, and the "foamy thing" is the air filter. The special powers it has keeps debris from entering the cylinder and causing you to rebuild your compressor more often! :)

Fantastic

I subbd bro ski, like ya style!

Hi, I know this is unrelated but I just picked up a used Craftsman 30 gallon compressor that looks just like this and wondered if you can tell me how to change the air filter? Not sure if housing has to come off or not. Mine builds pressure fine but if you shut it off around 40 lbs it has trouble restarting. Just chugs a bit. If you drain air down some, than it will kick on on run to max pressure as set on regulator. Thoughts?

When piston / rod assembly was taken off the connection bot was on the tight, when installed your it was on the left? Any offset issued?

Well done. Go wings! Cheers with the two hearted.

Top tier video

Thanks for sharing this informative "how to" video. Have the same compressor, it takes ~ 8 min to fill the tank from empty to full. How long does it take for yours after you rebuild the pump ?

Hey , just wondering if you can help me ? I have a fiac compact 106 air compressor, it turns on but the piston doesn't want to kick in ,if I turn the piston while it's plugged in it starts to runs perfect until I switch it off ,,any idea what it could be plzz

A guy has one of these for sale but with no motor on it. I was going to buy it and use it as an auxiliary tank for mor air (spray gun use). I have a 2hp 10 gallon california air tools compressor. Do you think it would be a good idea to use it for this purpose? He wants 150 for it

I have the extract compressor and if it's not completely empty of air it won't start up. It tries to buy it just kinda jugs what's your thought on that

How long does your compressor take to build up air? I have the same one and although it works, it seems to run for a very long time to build up pressure. Thanks!

Hey there! There are 3 wires I don't know how to connect. 2 black wires can you tell me where they go?

Cheers 🍻

My craftsman compressor will build pressure to about 40lbs. Do you think it's a different issue? I tried playing with the pressure valve, but it didn't make a difference

I’ll be tearing my compressor apart tomorrow and hopefully it’s not that bad😬

Chaz..after I plug it in my 150psi craftsman pancake air compressor doesn't do anything. It was just working a month ago. Can you help me plz

I have this same one but mine builds pressure to about 35 psi and then shuts off, what would cause that?

I have the same air compressor and it keeps blowing my circuit breaker, any ideas?

Very good info , liked subscribed

My compressor starts working and builds pressure up to 150psi but sometimes during work it will not start and won't keep tank charged. Sometimes it turns on only for a few seconds then goes quiet. Sometimes I hears something that it wants to start like air going somewhere through the pipe for about 2 second and then quiets and stays like that. Fails to keep up pressure in tank when I use it. Pressure goes low as 50psi but compressor doesn't start. Then I had to open drain valve to release remaining air pressure in the tank. Disconnect it from AC power for few minutes and it starts working again build up to 150psi again. I don't hear any air leaks. What could be wrong?

My compressor builds pressure but it all goes away when you turn it off. Need to start over, building pressure each time you use it. Is this the same fix for my problem? Or is something else wrong? Thanks

That thing you are calling the muffler is the air filter. Its the reason the piston ring went bad. lol Got to have an air filter just like a car engine

donde puedo co seguir el kit en México.

Got a husky doing same thing and it has a plastic looking piston ring

I have one of these, got it in the early 2000s. I thought the internals were plastic

Noice !! followed the tutorial in reverse.. Beeer.. swearing.. working.. squinting.. installing.. back-to new operation. NOW.. go talk to 'Cinnimon down at the nudy-bar! sweeet..

I did this exact thing on the exact same compressor. It ran good for about 10 seconds and it threw a rod. Snapped it off and the plastic fan cooling blade exploded. Something else is wrong.

Where did you buy the parts ?

Well I bought mine used about 20 years ago at a yard sale for 150 and it's not building pressure I guess I can invest another 100

How much were the parts

What kind of beer was that you drink 🤔

Piston, connecting rod and piston ring

That is truly a Mickey mouse operation

*intake. Exhaust goes to the tank.

you didnt show it build to pressure 150 u didnt show prices of parts!

NO SOUND!

You should learn the proper terminology for the parts before you post how to videos ! mufflers and intake filters are very different items for one. the list is too long to go into any more

It looked like the needle was bobbing around abd not taking air. Then you took the camera away from it 😂
