Easy Fix for Air Compressors
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 10. 2022
- Often air gunners find themselves without any options when they have an air compressor that no longer works. This helps the case for owning a break barrel air gun as a survival gun when power is out, etc. Too often that air compressor is stored away or even hauled out to the trash, because there is little known about how to fix them. Dr. Russ shares some simple air compressor fixes, when his own begins to leak oil. With Dr. Paula standing nearby, wanting her cookie sheet back and finding where her furniture sliders disappeared to, Dr. Russ repairs his compressor in 15 minutes.

Fun to see Dr Paula in front the camera
Good to hear from you Eric Page .... yes ... she has her methods of letting me know she is here too ... and a little concerned about what I borrow... Dr. Russ
Dr Russ I love your man Cave and I love the wisdom you impart to your viewers!
Anthony Gasparini.... thanks for the compliments... my man cave requires a great deal of upkeep ... so it keeps me busy because I am often working in it. ... and it is not in just one place ... but a little here and a little there... Anthony, we have some interesting videos planned between now and the end of the year. Lets hope we keep your interest.... Please stay in touch... Dr. Russ
BUSTED!!!!!😂😂 You should have known better than to let the beautiful and lovely Mrs. Dr. Paula into your "man cave"!!! Don't feel bad though my friend...... My wife has found me "borrowing" her stuff on occasion too. Great video as always. Keep em' coming!!! 👍
G A's Adventures ... you hit the nail on the head .... We need these beautiful women as help mates in life ... but they are constantly watching for any sign that might mean we crossed over onto their turf.... I think the cutest one is that wives often review the garbage can for any valuable info.... while we men throw things in there that we never plan to look at again.... Thanks for writing... Dr. Russ
Information for valve for scuba would be some good info. Thanks for the video , Doc.
Obadiah Smith ... I am currently working on restoring 2 scuba tanks with a valve change etc .... should be launched in 3 to 4 weeks... thanks for the response... Dr. Russ
Always a thumbs up, I always try to get my subscribers to do that too, I don’t think they realize how important that is to us CZcamsr’s
Mark Bostic ... always good to hear from you... my staff tells me every week that I should ask for subscribers at the beginning of each video... versus at the end. I am just one of those video providers that believes they will subscribe if they want to... Dr. Russ
Hey Dr. Russ, how about this Idea for "Leading-in" and cleaning an air gun barrel/rifling, take the cotton wads, put jewelers rouge on them, them shoot them; will it polish the barrel and help remove all of the machining burrs from the rifling? Hmmm? Cheers Mate...
Did it fix your problem sir? I envy you with all those pcp's! People say I'm crazy for having one or two of them. I also have 2 break barrel springer guns too. A .177, and a .22 calbers. They're great for what they are, but the power of the pcp guns is unrivaled as far as air goes. Anyways to those people who say I'm crazy, I say it's my money, and it's what I like so don't worry about what I buy. Lol Have a good day!
Scott Hoover... it is good to hear from you ... I agree... Dr. Russ
@@timmy4539 True.... Dr. Russ
Scott... yes the new black seal fixed the problem... and I will show that in a future video soon... Dr. Russ
Yes Scott Hoover ... my compressor is fixed ... and no oil leak is visible in the cookie sheet pan that I have it in... Dr. Russ
Hello Dr Ross...interesting to see a compressor stripped , always something new to learn ...and I see Dr Paula is always sharp and silent....she noticed some missing crockery pieces ☺
Amen ... George ... Amen ... I cant put one over on her .... she is sharp... Dr. Russ
Great Video Thanks .
Thank you for tuning in Robert.... Dr. Russ
agree and don't forget the good all-pump-ups benjamins as a backup too!! plus... the dreaded😁..... hand pumps!
Chentequilichini ... it is good to hear from you ... and you are correct on this comment ... Pump Up Benjamin's and Break Barrels are always a good back up ... and lastly, hand pumps can either build up your stamina ... or give you a heart attack. Please stay in touch... DR. Russ
You talked about the plumber’s Teflon tape. I just wanted to mention that the Teflon tape is also available for gas or air application and it is yellow instead of white. Just an FYI.
Thanks martdod .... I didn't know that ... and it is always good to learn something new... Thanks again... Dr. Russ
Hey Dr Russ I got the same compressor that you got I went a couple of days later Miss you by a few days where would I get that gasket from because I want to buy one and have it on reserve. I was waiting to see you show at work did it work.
Ice427 ... it is good to hear from you and your idea is a good one. Call or go online at Pyramid Air ...and type in Compressor gasket... and you will find it.... for about $15. Please share your success...and any other air gun experiences you have had..... Dr. Russ
I dont have a compressor,,,,,, just yet, but i am stacking pennies towards that goal.
The bucket reservoir though,,,,, as a long time user of water cooling on my computers i will have to do a closed loop.
And ! that is no problem as i have spare radiators and pumps and so on.
Look like your generic 2 CYL Tuxing compressor,,,,, and nothing wrong with that, though i wouldn't run my 12 L dive bottle way low, so ar 220 BAR or so i would probably top up again.
I am looking for something along those lines too, ditched the idea of a 3 X more expensive ( BIG ) compressor.
Good Peashooter ... compressors may get even hotter than computers.... some compressors require that you have a bucket of ice with water to cool them... Dr. Russ
Hello Dr Russ, I have been watching your videos and you put out some really good information. I have a lot of guns but didn’t have a pellet rifle. After listening to you I decided to buy the Swarm magnum 22cal gen 3i. When times get tough I may need to go to town and shoot some tame squirrels and rabbits so I wanted a quiet powerful and very accurate rifle. Also a gun that used inexpensive ammo. So thanks to you I was able to choose a good rifle out of the enormous brands and models.
I am anxious to make a pot of your famous camp beans. Please feel free to share anything that I have mentioned. I feel sure there are other people that need a pellet gun for some of the same reasons that I got one. Also, like you, I just enjoy plinking.
It is good to hear from you AnPairMech ..... and your note is helpful .... You are going to enjoy that pot of beans ... remember that beans are only 50% of the pot ... and added last. Dr. Russ
Happy thanksgiving doctor Russ and doctor Paula . Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and life experience. I am about to purchase my first PCP a Hatsan bull boss. I am planning on using an aqualung to fill the rifle because I live fairly close to a welding supplier. Which connector do you use to connect your bull boss to an aqualung tank ? And where did you purchase the regulator? Also any other accessories or tips you can share would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Eddie
Edward ... it is good to hear from you .... and your air gun is a good one. I believe welding tanks can be used ... but not positive... check out our channel and find a video on filling compression tanks ... you are going to need a regulator to screw in the top ... that aqua lung tanks already have ... and welding tanks dont ... plus you will need a scuba store nearby who will fill that tank for you ... while a welding shop might only compress gas and not air.... Dr. Russ
Another great video. I just started with my gx pump cs1-i and I'm really worried about moisture. I filled my AEA .30 SF the other day and the fill port was covered in water, but when I fill my air venturi avenger bullpup, this doesn't happen. The only tip I've been able to find on you tube is keep the gun higher than the compressor. I don't think this will help much because were dealing with a vapor not so much gravity. I bought a $50 inline cotton and carbon filter but no air passes through it. So, I'm gonna take out the carbon and ad molecular sieve desiccant beads from Wally world ($20 for 2 LBS) between the cotton filters and then switch out the beads and filters to dry every so often. Keeping the beads to cook them and reuse them. I wish someone would make a video on the "Do's and Don'ts" of filling an air rifle with these inexpensive compressors. Do you know of a good video for this?
Jeff ... it is good to hear from you, and while I have done several videos on "air" ... I did not cover the problem you are having. It might be solved by simply filling your air gun outside on a warm day, particularly if you have a cool, high humidity home... and definitely not in a high humidity basement or fruit cellar. Your compressor might also have a cotton filter in it, and by adding your new one, you are asking your compressor to pack air thru two filters. Hopefully these experiences will help you... keep us in your loop... Dr. Russ
Do the springs in break barrel rifles loose their tension over time? Sure glad I discovered your channel. A very good video.
Bert Cochran ... it is good to hear from you .... and yes ... all springs can lose their tension over time, when they are left on a compressed state ... or cocked ... for a long time. Some Break Barrels are not "Springers" and do not have the spring I believe you are referring to. They work on the power of a piston with air only. They are far more forgiving and can be left cocked for a week ... but I do not endorse that ... I believe that a cocked gun is also an unsafe gun and can be fired by accident ... even by the owner. You should shoot "Springers" and "Piston" air guns shortly after cocking them. Please stay in touch ... sharing your air gun info and experiences with us ... Dr. Russ
@@russjones6497 thank sir.
I made a recirculating cooling system using prestone coolant and a small radiator and reservoir unit. My pump runs at 150 degrees. No buckets or submersible pumps.
Cool ... that should work well ... Thanks for sharing ... Dr. Russ
Fantastic job as Usual doc.
Hopefully you can do a similar video on the smaller box compressor that most of us have. Mine is the air venturi version. Mine is leaking air somewhere...not in my guns smh.
As a guy with shoulder issues (surgery soon) which break barrel do you recommend for the best combo of accuracy, cocking effort and maybe hold sensitivity? I have the Rws 350 ntec magnum and it is a monster to cock 😀
Rick ... I believe I answered this comment... if not, please get back to me.. Dr. Russ
Hey Dr Russ hope all is well . Would like to know where to get the connectors and such to fill scuba tanks and be able to use them to fill my gun. Thank you..
Daz ... you could call Pyramid Air and talk to one of their phone technicians ...you could call Arizona Air Guns and do the same. Utah Air Guns too.... or you can go onto Amazon or Ebay ... and you will find them there ... they all come with a female attachment and most still require the probe... or male attachment that came with your gun.
thankyou for the info
@@dazz2852 anytime... thanks for commenting... Dr. Russ
@@timmy4539 ... True again... Dr. Russ
Yes sir i really enjoy your videos. Just getting into the pcp world. Have alot of questions. What would be an adequate filter system on a small compressor like the gx cs2. Is the cotton patch filter that come with it enough for just filling the rifle?in the pcp world i can never get a real clear answer on this question. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dennis
Yes Dennis ... it is adequate... good to hear from you ... Dr. Russ
🎉. Pass on video
Good to hear from you Peter... Dr. Russ
It is indeed an easy job and if you have not done it with, it is recommended to use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts with equal tension. Good anecdote from Dr.Paula that you have more air rifles than she has..... , the name escapes me. Make up for the damage with each gift day until you're even to keep the peace in the house.
J Verfaillie ... she said that I have more air guns than she has "shoes".... Yes, torque wrenches are important ... and probably more important than a mechanical part that is holding 4000 psi than a gasoline engine holding much less....l use to have a torque wrench but it has disappeared... possibly a brother borrowed it. Nonetheless, I torqued those bolts down very snug... knowing it was made of aluminum and needed to be tight at the same time.... Dr. Russ
Big question I have see you shot round ball slugs on you Aea challenger 50cal is that lee 495 diameter round ball?
Yuniel Alfonso .... Yes they were round ball in 495 caliber ... but I rarely use round balls any more... while they are often the cheapest ammo .... they are the least accurate ammo between 50 and 100 yards ... and even when you reach a large group on one side of the bullseye ... a switch to pellets or slugs places a smaller and tighter group on another side of the bullseye. ... requiring a complete new set of adjustments on your scope or iron sites..... Dr. Russ
@@russjones6497 thanks
That's a nice two cilinder you got there. Can you estimate how long it would take to top off a 6.8 liter bottle from 200 bar to 300 bar? I use the Hill EC-3000. Pro, air cooled and auto shut off and switch on so it cannot overheat and it is pretty "quiet". I also have a small one that operates on a car battery. I have to admit that I like the 2 cilinder you've got there, but I never saw them in the Netherlands . . . you know if Ares is only sold in the US?
jbhk ... you bring up a few new interesting questions that I havent tried yet ... but will ... Zach Matthews in Georgia, USA sells this compressor ... which I like very much ... and if you need an answer right away ... he can provide all those answers with a phone call. Dr. Russ
@@russjones6497 Thanks for you reply, appreciate it. I will contact Matthews in Georgia like you advised. The current global madness(reset) makes it difficult to order one from your continent. W'll see my friend, again thank you.
kan gewoon doe ik ook van 250 tot 300 ,slaat af bij 75 graden ,en start weer op . ,doe je teveel grote fles vraagt ie om opstarten , olie peil en regelmatig verversen is altijd goed
🙏👍🙏
Good to hear again from you Ed ... and thanks for the thumbs up..... we have some pretty good videos coming soon .... hope you enjoy.... Dr. Russ
Do you know of any battery operated compressors?
Superblackhawk, many of the compressors in the $400 to $600 range have a plug that goes to a home wall socket... but they typically have a second device for another $100 that allows you to plug into it while it has two alligator clamps that connect to a vehicle battery. Lastly is a scuba type tank, which also needs a valve, gauge and high pressure hose too ... costing another $100. Keep us in your circle of info and experience.. Dr. Russ
