26 bucks …..great deal nice compressor….I just bought a 220v 20gal
craftsman 5hp love it!
Cool find. Yeah, that oil just ain’t right. It looks like a stand-weight
gear oil… W140 maybe? My other guess would be they thought it was
running rough and just decided to put that “leak fix” oil additive gunk
people buy at Walmart. There’s all kinds of thick crap like that for “old
engines” at auto-parts stores too.
My guess is a carb cleaning, and maybe clean out the muffler (I think
little Honda engines like that have a spark depressor that can gunk up),
and hit that rusted muffler heat shield with some high-temp paint… it’ll
run for years 🙂
that other honda engine can be used on anything there is a set screw
holding on that what looks like a gear in the end of the crankshaft. just
remove or loosten the set screw and use a puller to pull that gear looking
thing off. then it can be used on what ever.
$26 you got to love rich lazy people.wow gas line.so funny.i bet 1 of those
guys that worked at that construction company savataged it thinking he
could get it cheap.probably cam to work and said,” what,you got rid of that
broken compressor?”
Man I wish I could find deals like you two do lol Grats on the sweet
compressior
I just removed the head on my GC160, not too difficult. Had a bit of
trouble because a valve stem broke and the loose valve in the combustion
chamber was keeping the piston from reaching TDC. Had to hold it upside
down and shake until the valve found a better place and I could move the
piston and get the crankshaft out. Problem is said valve stem punched a
hole in the head, and it’s an expensive part…
Yeah It’s like maybe an inch long, came out a pressure washer.
the oil looks like engine honey to me
@xxxbmxerxxx1 I know its hard to find out by the video but its most likely
cold out hence the gloves.
Nice man,,, I saw a similar one going today for 900 about the smae year so
u got a steal
Nice…what a nice find!
Yeah, I don’t know what it was doing in the engine and it was WAY
overfilled!
$26 is a hell of a deal
Fun to watch and congrats on the nice find!
@theapothem1
… Suction stroke vacuum. But you are right. ;Đ
sounds like a deal
you sound like me man all my friends are amazed at how little i pay for
things that are brilliant.
Sweet deal u got on this……….
i have had a couple engines overfilled!
maybe they put in bar and chain oil?
Nice score!
Yup. overhead cam, pretty fancy!
why do amricans wear gloves all the time when they do somthing its not
going to hurt your hands
I hate how the exhaust port hits the pump cylinder my craftsman compressor
had the same engine I replaced it with a honda clone

compressor.
