Hey guys - check THIS out http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?itemnumber=99918 It is currently on sale for 999.00 WITH a one year Store REPLACEMENT warranty! For 169.00 extra you can extend the replacement warranty for ANOTHER 2 years AFTER the one year warranty expires !! It looks like a bad azz compressor with a 2 stage pump and DUAL heavy duty belts AND electric start ! It has a 30 gallon air tank and 18.7 CFM at 145 psi ! It will build 175 PSI - not that you will need that ?
I have used Chinese compressors before. The PUMPS work fine - it is the MOTORS we had problems with. Mostly the Recoils. And parts are hard to get. Here is a thread discussing them http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/harbor-freight-gas-engine-148488.html but who CARES ? The store assured me IF it quits for ANY reason - bring it back and get a NEW one This one has Electric start - GOTTA have it
I am SICK and Tired of pulling rope/having it break!
Thinking seriously about buying one of these.
You ought to SEE this monster ?
It LOOKS like it means business

Chris, I've been a Honda fan for many years 2 1/2 yrs ago i replaced my 13hp honda on my log splitter after 20 yrs and picked up a new china 13hp on ebay for $80.00 its been running strong so even if you have to replace it thier cheap theres one on ebay now for 150.00 "buy it now" try using synthetic oil for the engine & stabil in the gas ,been using that for 20yrs some guys only use the stabil when they store the engine if you use it all the time the varnish never has a chance to build up
