Turn it over manually a few times with the drain taps open to make sure that the first stage hasn't got a gut full of oil to avoid hydraulic lock. The Junior has two oil and water separators, one of which is incorporated in the PO final filter housing so it will always have a bit of oil and...

Because you have a reed valve plate on the first stage the oily blowby is designed to lubricate the reed valves by design. This system is used on many brands of compressors, not just Coltri.

Either one of your final stage valves is leaking or a condensate drain seat is shot. Let the compressor build pressure and switch it off and spray soapy water around final separator and filter housing to determine possible leaks. It sounds like floating piston rattle to me. Could also be a...

Cyclone season.

That 4 footer the four of us tried to corner in knee deep water near Gavutu wharf 2 decades ago could have ended in tears ...............what were we thinking?

You can send them to me and I'll see to it that they are disposed of properly.:wink:

That unit is a bargain for the price. As Michael says, 550 hours is nothing for these pumps which are designed for around 30,000 hours. You can check the type of oil in it by putting a bit on a rag and shine a uv light on it .....if it fluoresces, it's mineral oil and you can follow Michael's...

6cfm is slow if you fill one tank at a time. My portable 6cfm Noah Howden has 4 fill whips on it and looking at past records, it filled four 12liter fabers from 100bar to 260bar in 44 minutes. On another occasion it filled two 12 liter and two 15 liter fabers from 50bar to 265bar in 65 minutes...

I'm not familiar with the Alkin, but if it hasn't got two small holes in the top of the cap for a pin spanner, you can try one of the old style metal strap oil filter wrenches.

Try and put the PMV adjusting cap back in the original position and tighten the lock nut on the grub screw. To confirm whether you have the correct position, connect the fill whip to a tank but leave the tank valve closed and start the compressor. Watch the pressure gauge on the whip as the...

Looking at your photos, your base plate and carrying handle appear to be the standard Junior 2 issue, whereas the Oceanus came with stainless steel items. I see the Oceanus sticker but I would be looking for the oil pump on the block.

Can use solid rod or hollow tube. Drill holes. insert stainless wire and lock in with a hammer. :D

Do you have a filter cartridge in the PO/P21 ?

Shell Corena S2 P150 is a mineral oil which replaced Corena P150 Shell Corena S4 P100 is a synthetic oil

It's a Mariner 1 7.5 CFM with a 5.5 HP motor 9 CFM with a 7.5 HP motor

The first and second stage are on top of one another. The Poseidon block is very similar to the Bauer IK 12.14 with a few plumbing changes like oil filler position being very obvious and pipe coming out of 4th stage barrel and redirection of crank case breather tube. The first / second, 3rd...

Yes........tell her the 20 Liter pail is not cooking oil.

Was it a Sherwood by any chance?

If the Subaru engine hasn't been started for quite a while, the fuel in the float bowl has either turned to a gel or crystallized. Remove the bolt holding the float bowl to the Carby and clean up the bowl of any fuel residue. Next push out the float pivot pin and lower the float and pin valve...

Going by the first stage, it's a Mariner as it has a valve plate and no valve plugs coming out of the top of the head like the Utilus and Capitano have. These compressors came fitted with a P1 which has been replaced with an aftermarket final oil and water separator ( black unit in front of...
