I would love to know what motor you are using!
I haven't found one that can spin the pump.
I'd run a large relay directly to the battery with a large wire.
I have a york 210 on my streetrod that runs off the engine, I love it. It's quiet and powerful.

Subject: Re: [GMCnet] York 210 Onboard Air

I purchased my coach almost 2 years ago and it had a York compressor
already onboard. In my coach the relay that controls the compressor went
straight to the batteries. The relay was controlled by a switch inside
on the dashboard. This setup has seemed to work well until the
compressor pretty much ran dry of oil. In the past couple of months I
have learned a lot about running the York compressor.

In rebuilding the compressor I have learned that the port between the
oil sump and the head was not plugged. This caused and awful mess in
upper side of the compressor and added to the loss of oil. Not sure what
previous owner did the install, but I would think that plugging the port
would have been one of the first things done. So if you don't know the
history of the York, I would suggest determining if the port has been
plugged or not.

During the rebuild I am adding an oil sight gauge and a hose to allow
oil to be added to the compressor without going through the process of
removing the compressor or finding some crazy way of trying to get to
the fill holes to measure and add oil.

I hope that your York compressor is better off than mine.
