joseph kehrer Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 sendo there is a member in the club who rebuilds them. i cant recall who. if you do a search on the site for load leveling compressors you might find it. joseph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCfan Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Sendo, I purchased my rebuilt compressor several years ago from FGMCC member Bob Lyman (lastss). I believe he is still in the business of refurbishing them as shown in this recent post (click on this LINK). Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant MacPherson Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 looking for diaphram, or if someone has sucessfully built one would like any suggestions. thanks Grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant MacPherson Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Thanks for the info,I have some parts coming from Bob and am teasting a diaphram I built, so far it seems to be working. I have to pull it apart again as there is a check valve leak so I can see how the diaphram is standing up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinquack Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 My car has all the parts, but is currently not operational. How do these pumps work? Its got a vacuum line hooked up to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overdrive Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 They are a high pressure, low volume pump that operates by engine vacuum. There are 3 small check valves inside that must be clean and have the seats in good condition in order to build pressure. If it works, it's best to air up the system to about 100 psi with your shop air hose, and then let the compressor take the pressure up from there. The compressor should automatically stop at around 120 psi, give or take a few pounds. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone tried to find a company that could reproduce these diaphragms Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCfan Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Joe, I don't know of anyone but you might check with Bob Lyman (lastss). Also, just a few posts above in this same thread it sounds like Grant MacPherson may have built his own diaphragm so you could check with him on how that is working.
