My dad picked me up a compressor cheap a few years ago and I have finally got round to rewring it in ord to get it to run.
Single phase 0.75 hp motor.
Twin cylinder compressor pretty old.
I have disconnected the output from the tank(this is to remove back pressure while fault finding)
When it runs after a min or two the motor stops.
Oil is nice and clean and plenty of it.
Input valves operate nicely. I have removed and check them.
My intuition says as the compressor heats up it seizes. I am having trouble getting the head off to inspect the pistons / cylinders.
In the meantime time while I wrestle the head off does anyone have any other ideas of the issue?
Also any good ideas for getting head off. It almost seems stuck on.
