I recently added the option of a gas engine on my previously electric drive maxair 35. I installed the exact same motor, the honda gx 160, that maxair sells them with. I changed the pulley to the appropriate size on the gas motor shaft, changed the belt to the appropriate length, etc.
I have couple of questions to those who use the gas drive models.
1) Do you have issues with the compressor wanting to walk around on ground, i.e. the engine vibration makes the entire apparatus skate around on the floor.
2) What rpm on the honda do you typically run your compressor at? I notice if I knock it down to 2400 rpm it will smooth out,not vibrate,and sit still, but most other rpm's it skates around. The other issue is that at 2400 rpm the fill rate is painfully slow.
Thanks for any info current owners of this unit may have.
