Within another thread is a good discussion of air compressors. I’d like the bring the discussion into its own thread.
I feel as if I ought to rebuild or replace mine, but the want to replace is more emotional than rational!
In my 1976 Palm Beach the original (I think) compressor is in the bottom cabined in the hallway. It’s a racket when pumping up, and some where close to the compressor is a leak which causes it to cycle on / off every few minutes. The bags never seem to loose air, so I’m sure it’s close to the compressor but I haven’t given the Rube-Goldberg contraption any attention to figure it out. Also, I feel as if it takes the bags a long time to pump up. How long does it take most of y’all to inflate an airbag? I have the dual airbags, but still it’s probably close to the same volume of air for the original, Sully bags, and exactly the same as the quadra-bag.
Anyone have thoughts about compressors? Some in the other thread like the Viair’s - I wonder if they are quieter? I couldn’t imagine inflating a tire with that little thing, but I suppose it’s possible.
