compressor blowing fuse within seconds of starting

[dannyp]

sounds like your compressor has had some abuse.

normaly when they are correctly piped up, if the NRV is knackerd the unloader in the pressure switch will dump the tank when the motor cuts out.

and usally hissing / blowing oil from the dipstick means the rings are gone, but if had no unloader or no return valve fitted air is going to get past the valves and piston, probaly at enough of a rate to make it hiss

trying to sort a compressor out on the cheap, i bought (for not a lot) today a clark 200L compressor that he thinks the motor has gone, so i am going to put my motor on that compressor, then hopefully ill have a semi decent 200L compressor. Failing that ill either try to mess around some more or chuck the towel in and buy a new one
