| I have a 1960's era 5hp air compressor that I've had for 20 plus years (216 36 on pump,possibly Binks). Have replaced tank and motor years back. Have set pressure as high as possible 5 years ago at 115psi. After it cycles once or twice it trips motor starter. Starter contacts look burnt. Do I need a new starter or pressure switch or both? I would like more pressure but I think it would require a new pressure switch(old one is maxed out). Is this compressor capable of more psi? Do you guys think it is worth spending $300 on old compressor or should I retire it and buy new? It is certainly a heavy duty old dude. | |
