Another idea of making replacement gaskets. Taping the gasket paper around the openings is always a great idea. But if you own a typical computer scanner, you can put the item in the scanner and scan it. Then print out a one to one size copy and use it as your pattern. Then a simple exact-o type knife and even some spent rifle cartridges, that can be sharpened on the opening, can be used to cut the round holes for the bolts. I have made tons of gaskets that way.

My HF/AC 21 GAL had the same problem as yours so this video was very helpful. I had some left over RTV Permatex Gasket Maker so I used it instead. So far the RTV is working good but if it does not hold up then I will do it the old-fashioned way like you did. The poor quality of the OEM HF gaskets was laughable. Thanks for the tutorial

great job. my campbell hausfeld won't build pressure over 25 psi. i'll try your fix before i junk it. good video.

great video I have exact compressor and have changed gaskets out a few years ago I ordered from Harbor Freight- don't know of their still available but recently the compressor stopped making psi again-so I will be doing your method. BTW there's another gasket under the head that tends to leak -you need to tap on the head with a mallet to remove it.

JUST fixed mine for FREE. Got a tip for you guys. When you remove the cylinder head and reed plate and gasket under it you will probably find a broken reed, and it will probably be on the side closest to the air line going to the tank. My broken reed calipered out at .010 thousandths of an inch so what I did was take an old hacksaw blade and backed it with a straight piece of wood, used a belt sander on both sides of the blade and reduced it to .012 thousandths, then reduced it to size. Used the thick non-corrugated cardboard from a cell phone box and cut the gasket. Used a tiny dab of grease to hold the reed in the cylinder head in it's pocket as I turned it upside down to reassemble it. Functions perfectly.

This was a great video. I was ready to throw out my model 95386 before watching this.

That is a very nice video. Thanks. I got the same one shipped to me, pre-owned, unfortunately dead on arrival, I opened it but the blue capacitor is not there! does that compressor come with 2 capacitors? or it could be an upgrade? It just looks the same.

To my knowledge that blue one is a cap, the white one MAY be a second or it could be a solenoid. I'm not 100 percent sure. Wish I had some schematics or I would tell you for sure. I'm not exactly sure why anyone would remove it unless it's bad (Which can happen). Thanks for checking it out!! Hope you get yours up and running for your future projects!

Thank you for the video. This is great and I'm hoping will fix my issue that I'm having with the older version of this same model (has a black on/off switch and label is in orange). Problem is there's apparently one additional gasket that I can't seem to figure out how to get to to repair. Sadly all of the gaskets on mine were ripped and I have a feeling was part of the problem. Also, what grade of sandpaper were you using for clean-up?

@Anonymous-it5jw

Consider using Permatex Instant Gasket for this purpose. It sets pretty quickly; if you don't like the result, just clean it off with a product like brake kleen or acetone and then cut your own gaskets, like he did.

That's a good question, I never actually checked the size of the material myself. I just found a gasket making kit at Shucks and bought it.

ROADKILL4147 hmm, did you check the piston itself? That almost sounds like a weak ring or something if you’ve gone through it that many times

where do you get pats.

For drilling the holes, its better to put the gasket paper down on a scrap piece of wood and drill through it. That will prevent tearout and ripping of the paper when you go through it.

go to the paint dept. and their you will find a tool made to hold that razor blade, for gasket/paint removal.

Awesome video just one question kinda of topic.Was that metal or gasket material on top of your piston?Ive got the same compressor did oil change after 30 min break in had metal shaving in oil wondering if in your experience if that clears up.

@TheFenderman

7 жыл бұрын

Hey thanks for watching! I can't really imagine what drive gears could cause metal shavings besides something seriously failing. The gasket material that originally came off was in fact paper gasket. A think using a metal gasket would actually be a tad thick for what it is used for. Luckily it doesn't really have to hold back water or oil, it's just air. That's why I'm thinking something is a bit more broken than a gasket with yours. Hope this helped!

I have a question and before i ask it let me apologize for my ignorance on the subject. My question is i adjusted my regulator to give me 40psi, but when i pull the trigger on my gun the regulator gauge goes below 40psi then i let go of the trigger the regulator gauge goes back to 40psi so what im asking is even if the regulater gauge goes below 40psi when i press the trigger am i still getting 40 psi at the gun tip? Or is there something wrong with my compressor?

@realflow100

My compressor wasn't holding pressure but it had nothing to do with the compressor side. It was the rubber diaphragm in the electrical cut off switch. It would build pressure, cut out as normal but I could hear air leaking. The diaphragm had turned to a sticky rubbery mush. Had to buy a complete new pressure switch and air manifold arrangement which was no big deal. Less than $20.00 and should be back working again shortly

Hey, my dad used to make gaskets all the time and he would just place the gasket material over the top of the part and lightly tap over the surface of the gasket material and it would leave an impression on the gasket material that you can cut out. Try that on your next gasket making video and see how it turns out. I think you will be amazed how easy and fast it is to do.

I had that same issue! So what I found it was, the actual outlet was too far from the house panel. Made a new circuit (Literally feet from the fuse panel) and fixed the issue! Makes sense considering the longer the distance the more resistance, which means less power which trips the breaker on the compressor.

alternatively lay new gasket material on the surface its to mate to, tap gently with ball peen or brass hammer, really round striking surface is what matters here. the round surface of the hammer hitting the edges of the underlying metal makes easily distiguishable lines to cut along. or good ole fashion paper and pencil or charcoal or crayon and do a rubbing, cut out paper use as a template for gasket material. also for the love of god buy a couple pairs of weed trimming scissors, they have a curve built into the blade and come super sharp. god bless thanks for the advice my pos hf comp wont go past 40psi, now i know why.

iguess i got a good one. because iv had mine going on 6 years and iv yet to have a problem with it. hell iv even added a 25 gallon propane tank to it for more volume. that 2.5 motor is plenty to keep up. i use my lil light weight XL stubby like a cordless drill. i took it apart and was surprised by the guts. damn sure woth the 100 bucks with the coupon i had. HF is doing alil bit better with their shit they been getting. and u cant beat tbeir hand tools. like i said. i use my air compressor everyday for my small engines repair and that stubby impact wrench. and both have yet to fale me. now i did take that cheap ass oil and flushed out my air compressor first. should have seen the shit come out before the break in. after the 30 mins. i flushed it again. then out some good royal purple in it. like i said. going on 6 yrs.

@Fenderman, Yes, keep the the cylinder clean by stuffing it tight with a clean oily rag, and wipe it on the way out, but don't worry about the sanding per se. You can see that the machining of the mating surfaces is way coarser than the sanding grit. That's why we have gaskets that conform to the surface and seal.
