Default Sears air compressor throws breaker
wrote:
I have come in possession of a Craftsman model 919.165200, 5 hp, 20
gallon air compressor that when turned on runs for a few seconds then
throws a breaker in my shop. Anyone have a clue as to why or how to
repair? Anyone come across this problem before?

TIA

Jerry



How cold is your shop? Does the compressor have 30W oil or 20W?
(default is 30W, which may be too thick in the winter)
