Folks, I am getting a used air compressor. FREE. However as with
most things there is a slight problem.
It shorts out a 20amp breaker after pumping up to 85-90lbs,
Things I know
1)The controller has been replaced.
2) The compressor was run low on oil at one time. a couple of years ago. I
am not
sure how long.
3) I need to determine wether it is the compressor or the motor. (or is
there something else)
4) The motor draws around 12amps with no load. I understand that this is
normal
Does any know of how to diagnose this problem. Any ideas would be
gratefully accepted.
Thanks
