Neighbor was moving and gave me this Champion generator due to engine noise. Here is what it sounds like. Any idea what it might be? Worth repairing or scrap yard?

I got the air compressor running! I bypassed the switch and it kicked right over and started building pressure. Here is a quick video I made. The whistling you may hear is the plug i had in the air outlet wasn't completely tight, i have since tightened it and no whistling...

Originally Posted by Kawiguy454 Unplug and use a VOM to check the pressure switch contacts are probably bad. Any kind of burned or melted wires indicates a bad or less than good connection where heat will be created. That bad connection will heat up and heat will migrate down the wires in a slow...

Originally Posted by Donald I had a similar issue with my air compressor. The screws in the pressure switch loosened a little and arced and burned. Lots of vibration in an air compressor. My solution was to wire nut the two wires together and have the pressure switch only switch one leg of...

Originally Posted by Dave Sherman Small motor shop might be your best bet. If the compressor also turns freely, I would suspect either a failed capacitor or perhaps the centrifugal start switch has a problem. You would have to take the end shell off to get to that. Might also check to make sure...

Happy New Year All..!! I picked this Campbell Hausfeld 60 gal stationary air compressor from a job site a while back ago for free. They used it to run a die cutter table and it stopped working. Where should I start for diagnosing? Looking at the switch box, the white wire looks burned and...

Originally Posted By: Dallas69 Never use a flush unless you are sure your engine needs it.This should not be done just because. If you change your oil on schedule then your engine is clean enough. You can cause more issues. How do you know if "you need it"?? I'm going off of reading some...

Originally Posted By: Bullwinkle007 If you use lighter oil, you will consume more oil, you can continue what you are using or use Castrol euro 0/40. That is good with good mfg specs. I wouldn't do a flush if you have changed your oil on a regular basis I have no intentions of using anything...

Originally Posted By: SirTanon The first thought that comes to mind is: Have you verified that the engine in that vehicle is in need of a flush, or are you just doing this as a "preventive measures" sort of thing? T6 is a pretty darn good oil when it comes to cleaning things up, so I have to...
