Well I have some good news, I got the fuel pump from NAPA along with the proper fittings to reconnect the fuel system. I added Diesel to the tank and tried to fire it up. It started at first and ran for 30 seconds then died. I was unable to get it to run again. I used the bypass switch to run the fuel pump and fill up the lines with Diesel, but was not able to get the fuel past the IP. Took the top off the IP cleaned it and replaced it. Took the Injector out and opened it up. Cleaned it out and replaced it. It took me 4 hours to troubleshoot and clean before the engine came to life again.
When I first ran the engine we got some pressure to build up in the air tank but then it started to drop. Further trouble shooting determined that the oil cooler fan had not come on and the oil system was very hot to the touch. I tested the fan and it worked fine running off the battery directly. I removed the connections from the oil temp. sensor and bypassed it in the circuit. Fan comes on as soon as t he master power switch is turned on.
I restarted the engine and was able to get 150 psi continuously! I figured out how to run the controls using the startup instructions printed on the inside of the cover. For now I am going to leave the temp. sensor out of the circuit since it doesn't effect performance. Trying to find a replacement without the spec's on it is almost impossible. I would not know what temperature the switch should turn the fan on. I may just add a SPST switch to the panel so I can turn the fan on after the engine is running instead of it using up battery voltage while I am trying to crank up the engine!
I also need to replace the air /water separator filter that is clogged with oil and water mixed. i could not find one at NAPA that was rated 25 microns and 200PSI. The NAPA filter was not a cross match, but the same size with 12 microns but had no PSI rating. I decided not to use it since I do not know what kind of pressure it can take! 200 PSI would make quite a bang if the filter let go! I will call a manufacturer that I was able to find on the internet that supposedly carries that spec. filter.
I am also planning on modifying the output of the compressor into a manifold so I can connect a larger diameter hose to the unit to run my 1" impact gun. The current hose reel attached tot the trailer looks to be only 1/4" or 3/8" at the most. i need 1/2" hose to feed the 1" impact gun properly. I have already found a manifold on Ebay and may purchase it for the modification. i amy also add some external regulators to the mod. so I can run tools at different PSIs at the same time.
I will post some updates later.
Here is a link to a compressor just like mine in action:
