Compressor quandry
John Rudd:
:update:
Well the bits I ordered yesterday morning arrived today..... :)
Great service from Clarke and Royal Mail.... :headbang:
Tomorrow I need to putvthexrunfs on the new piston, bolt the conrod into its big end and complete the re-assembly of the remaining parts of the pump....then we will see if it was money well spent... :scratch:
John Rudd:
:worthless:
Ok,
So some fotos.....
Here's the gudgeon pin.......the first image shows the worn sections where it rides in the piston bosses, the second image, the pin is rotated 180 degrees.....

Here's the piston, the marks at the top above the first ring groove...

:update:
Finally,
The conrod, it may not lok obvious but the l.e.e is worn oval
The second image shows the gap above the pin....
John Rudd:
And finally,
After re-assembly, it runs nice and quiet as it should.....no knocking noises just the sound of the reservoir filling.....but.....
Its losing air from the pressure switch when it reaches its setpoint...Argghhhhhh....
A quick diagnosis, its the nrv.....Stripped and cleaned, its now back together....
So total cost is around £100 for parts....should get me £250 on ebay..
Anyone want a good working compressor? :lol: :lol:
Right chill time as I'm off on me hols soon.....
