Big old air compressor
« on: December 17, 2009, 08:02:34 AM »
Found a steal on an old Inger air compressor w/kellogg 331 pump and 80 gal tank.  Unit must weigh 1000 lbs  :o.  Motor was bad so I replaced it.  Now I am curious about the pump rotation.  Havn't found anything saying which way it should rotate.  Most single stage pumps seem to be CCW.  Its a 2 stage pump and it seems slow at filling tank.

Think he meant flywheel fan(big round wheel that spins) should force air on the fins of cylinder head.  Could be wrong, ate lots of Spec's spicy green beans, so I'm pickled. LMAO
