Thank you for video. You have a better countertop in your garage than most people have in their kitchens. It's nice to see people fixing broken items instead of just buying new.

While KZread can certainly bring out the narcism in many people, it is so nice that there are also many people like you who just want to help others just for the sake of helping. I so appreciate you taking time out of your day to make a video to help people solve problems and save money. Thank you so much...most grateful!

Hi Lisa, I appreciate your comment. Everything that I don't know how to do it or fix it, I came here and thanks to a lot of people that take some time of their day to help the others like you said, we are able to learn a lot and save some money. From how to work on excel formulas, change valves on a car engine, wrap a car, and many others things, here is where I came. Thank you

Thanks Ray, that's was a saved piece from a friend's kitchen. A lot of times I try to teach my 3 little daughters how to fix things, it help then to not just trow everything that breaks and be creative and learn how things work and how can be fixable, believe me, they enjoy a lot. Thank you

Thank you, William! I recently bought a used PC Compressor - different model. Your video helped me discover the reason he sold it so cheap: the regulator was on backwards. I reworked it like you showed in your video and now I have a good-as-new compressor.

Just tried this today and saved me from buying a new compressor. Thank you for taking the time to do this!

Thanx U-Tube, I just saw a video and it nailed my problem to the wall word for word on my compressor.Exactly what I was looking for! Thanx again Pat Neal

Thank you for posting, I had the same problem and followed your suggestion. It works perfectly now, many thanks!

Thank you for actually talking us through the process other videos show a few steps & play stupid music through the whole video . u did a great job

Thank you for taking the time to help others.

Thanks so much for making this video. I fixed my PC compressor and it saved me a lot of money!!!

Great solution. I have the identical compressor and ran into the same problem. The knob on mine had stripped and the plastic plunger had cracked. I substituted a bolt for the broken plunger, which resolved the leak issue. The knob as you probably know is obsolete - offerings on ebay are cylindrical and not cone shaped as the Type 3. My solution was to shorten the regulator spring, which allowed use of the unstripped threads further back in the knob. Another cringe worthy fix was to coat the inside of the knob with super glue gel. I reinstalled the knob and let dry. Afterwards I backed the knob out with channel locks, which effectively cut new threads.

Denis, e um compressor muito bom, e o mais usado aqui porque e barato e dura bastante, alguns moldelos acontece este problema mas em geral ele e muito bom.

Thank you! This is the exact problem I am having with my compressor.

Curtis, that never happen to me, but if had, I will just try to open the box where you have the red lever that turn the compressor on to fill automatic and take a look to see if you find some damage or lose parts. Sorry I couldn't help you more. Thank you

Thanks for the video. I got a few parts and fixed mine after watching. The stupid regulator that comes with it is junk. Your solution is perfect.

Thanks Phil, I use youtube a lot to find solutions for my problems at home and work, once I find a lot of videos to fix it myself i thought why not make one of the one that I did not see yet once I have a decent and simple solution. I glad that was helpful and I encourage you to do the same if one day you have a solution for something.

You welcome Jed, this compressor is very good overall, but they did upgrade something from the older models to make the tool don't last much. That's how company grow, making products that don't last forever.

Jed Mook I'm curious why someone would buy 4 of these junk-piles after going through this issue the first time? I will never buy anything from Porter Cable again.

just did this! Thanks so much.

Great job!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏Thanks bro!!

Excellent! But what were you solving? I fired mine up and assume the regulator is bad, but what symptoms did you have that you repaired?

Very helpful video.

thank you for your idea.

Good Stuff

My porter cable started to sputter and smell s of burning any ideas what could be the problem

We had a power outage, when power came back on the compressor started. I turned it off now it won't come back on.

The little connectors in video: Husky 1/4 inch mm connector. Didnt have at harbor freight. Had to get expensive couplings at hd. They didnt have husky package.

my compressor wont turn back on to fill up with air its only 6 months old

Willian muito bom video. Eu vou no começo do ano ai pros USA e estava pensando em trazer esse compressor aqui pro Brasil. Vc recomenda esse compressor ? Eu vi no Home Depot um kit que custa 269,00 o que vc acha ?

I been trying to find out how to wire my Porte cable

my PC 6 gal compressor will not run. It's like there's no electricity, nothing. Tried other elec outlets, nothing. Is there a fuse somewhere in this thing? What else could it be? I appreciate your help

There is a fuse on the motor. Its like an Automotive fuse. Look at the coils, on one of the sides you will see under the dirt a plastic fuse. replace it with a 20amp fuse and it will start.

Does any one have an idea why a pancake porter cable c2002 compressor would just quit? No power. Was working perfectly and the other day no power. I already replaced on/ off switch. Also replaced air compressor regulator switch, still no power. Any ideas my friends???

Hi jarrad, between U$ 8 to 10

wow.. why would you do this? you can just flip around the broken tab to the other side of the mechanism and fix it in 4 seconds - and if that doesn't work - just order a new tab for $3.

just buy a rebuild kit from amazon

$20 and ten minutes you can fix it right.

Thanks but what a piece of shit... it literally came out of the box brand new having this problem, i’m returning it to home depot

Or you could fix it the right way with parts that only cost $22 instead of having a wacky looking air compressor.
