MY Kind Of Cheap Air Compressor

DO NOT ORDER THESE COMPRESSORS, i ORDERED TWO, AND THEY ARE NOT HONDA MOTORS!
THEY FOOLED ME BECAUSE THEY ARE PAINTED HONDA ORANGE
CLOSER INSPECTION REVEALS THESE TO BE CHINESE JUNK MOTORS.
THESE CHINESE JUNK MOTORS USED TO BE OFF WHITE COLORED, BUT THE DECEITFUL BASTARDS ARE PAINTING THE COPYS HONDA ORANGE







OMG, LOOK at this ?
http://cgi.ebay.com/Gasoline-Powered-Portable-Air-Compressor-6-5-HP_W0QQitemZ260371356810QQcmdZViewItemQQptZBI_Air_Compressors?hash=item260371356810&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

Under 500 dollars SHIPPED !!

AND, it has a 6.6 HP HONDA
The Ridgid we use only has a 5.5

My opinion on air compressors is this, remove and replace.

After a year or so on OUR roof cleaning trucks, they are SHOT anyway.

Why rebuild a rust bucket ?

Cost of doing business to me ?

Think I will order some of these, like the extra HP over the Ridgid.

Only had ONE Chinese PUMP ever fail, and it was low on oil on a HUGE, HUGE roof,

The other Chinese Pumps have done OK, just use sysnthtic compressor oil ?

This baSTARD has 11.6 CFM at 116 PSI  vs 12 CFM at 90 PSI for the Ridgid.

MY advice, GET one of these, and add a seperate 50 to 100 gallon air tank between it and the Yamada Air Diapraghm pump.

After a year, when it dies, and it will, chuck it, and start over ?

Remember, it is SUCKING in Corrosive AIR from the tank fumes ?

This takes it's toll on both the pump and the compressor metal body.

It WILL RUST, trust me on this.

YES, I would LOVE to have an Eaton or a Rol Air

But why spent 1500.00 on something that is DOOMED anyway ?

Here is the link to his Ebay Store http://stores.ebay.com/autotekpowerproducts

I am going to take the plunge and order ONE.

Can you cancel your bid? Are you stuck with it? Do you think it will last at least one year?

Here's a replacement Honda 6.5hp engine.

Definitely NOT Honda Red &White's, Chris. Sorry, Bro.

You will be ok as you paid by Paypal and although it may take a few days , at most to get your money back, you will eventually get it.

Here's a Honda 6.5hp air compressor, Chris.

This might last you at least one year, you think?

That is a beast! How about that one in Florence, KY?

$300 is pretty good for a 6.5hp

Yeah, that is a great deal, and a TRUE 6.5 hp Honda too.
Maybe Jew him down a bit, since the "carb needs cleaned" ?

Compressors can last a LONG time, if cared for, in NON roof cleaning applications.

That LOOKS like a  bigger compressor then the Ridgid I use, I will see ?
http://www.ebuild.com/product-detail/tools--equipment/air-compressors/gas-compressors/192849.hwx

It has a small 8 gallon tanks, and only 10.4 CFM at 100 PSI, which is plenty,

If it runs OK, for 300 bucks, it will work.

At that price its use would probably be as a great backup compressor?

Could we slap an air filter on one of these like a cartridge similar to the respirators we use ??
maybe it will prolong the life.
anyone tried this ?
