Ok guys I have to come clean, I got the air compressor but it failed.

The capacitor blew, the motor is probably burned out.

The motor was a dinky 1/2hp unit, it is powering a compressor of at least 2hp capability a V Twin, so I can either source a 2hp motor or just buy a another air compressor out there.

I looked on ebay and craigslist and the price for a new motor, whether new or used in most cases cost more than the entire used compressor.

Long story short the compressor is FAR to powerful for the small motor to handle.

Either way, I might just buy either a new motor or another used air compressor.

Shoulda got the smaller one instead of trying to get something bigger...

Now i'm back at square one I really should of taken you guys advice, sorry.

Don't forget to grease the screw and threads on the spring compressor.
