Air compressor parts?
Air compressor parts?
Wondering if anyone knows where to get air compressor parts to repair one of the Chinese knockoff 2kw versions. I'm guessing Russian market, but an idea of which shop and some prices would be helpful if anyone knows, as I am not familiar with parts here.
Need the starting capacitor and possibly the thing that cuts power when the tank is full.
Any info appreciated
Cheers

Road 5 after Japanese bridge has shops that sell and repair compressors and generators. I would think you would find what you need around there. I personally dont find Russian market to be much good for specific parts, more useful for general consumables
Re: Air compressor parts?
Cheers for that, I'll have a look there then as I'm not a big fan of shopping at Russian market to be honest.

Was actually going to recommend Oroussey Market, cause it's what Russian market wants to be when it grows up.

I always thought that because there are so many cheap Chinese knockoffs in most tools they are ment to be thrown away when they break. The same goes for most electric stuff.

Actually I find the western "junk" to be far more disposable than the stuff here. They may be cheaply made, but by the same token they are also repairable. Bloody compressors from any hardware store back home often come with plastic pistons and rubber rings but the compressors here have metal pistons and rings, as well as parts you can unscrew and replace individually rather than buying the whole assembly cast as a whole unit.

I've always found Russian market to be excellent for tools in general. In the past I have bought welding gear, spraying gear and parts for air compressors. From memory if you enter the market from the car park on the west side (163 st) and go in on the first entry to your left with the bike park on your left you will be in the tool section. Once in turn first right and look at the stalls from the second on your right and one to your left. You might have to try a few in that vicinity. Take photos of what parts you want and show it to the vender, they should be able to help. If you go ask if anyone has feeler gauges to check valve clearances and post findings/price thanks.

$8, didn't haggle. Bought a set recently from one of the centre "main hall" sellers from the car parking side and it was just hanging in plain sight to see.

You could replace the capacitor with any equivalent rated capacitor, if you cant find an identical one.

Total bill $15.50, including $3.50 for 700 ml of oil (wasn't necessary, but why not?), and I still have more than half the bottle leftover.
The adjustable regulator was bad ($8, and came with a new pressure gauge, although there's no PSI reading, only atmospheres which is annoying for a damn imperialist like me). Also went ahead and replaced all the fittings and valves attached to the main head $4 more because I noticed they were much better quality than my originals. No need for the capacitor, regulator was causing the starting issues.
Only gripe is that the new regulator's plastic adjustment knob has already fallen off, although internally it doesn't leak like the previous one, so I'll have to glue that on if I can be arsed.
All stuff from Russian market, but it was half empty and most tool sellers were still on vacation.
