Speedaire 4B228C pump 4B247A I don't use this compressor often and the last time I turned it on it ran for about 15 minutes with a staple gun attached giving me no trouble . I started it up again about an hour later and it started then cut off. There was oil on the wheel side of the pump so I placed a rag on the tank bracket to soak it up. 2 months later I want to get it running. Presently I have the oil draining. Do you have any suggestion on how to proceed? Do I need the whole rebuild kit or just part or am I heading in the wrong direction. Thanks for all help
Campbell Hausfeld made this unit for Grainger. The old pump is no longer available. If your valve plate looks different than the one on the page above, then I would simply replace the gaskets and be done with it. By the time you change to the new valve plate style and gaskets and rings, you may as well buy a new pump so on 2nd thought, maybe just replace the oil seal and gaskets needed to get to the seal.
It's just a small thing Cadkathy. But thanks so much for using the proper usage of the contraction "you're" instead of "your". What a breath of fresh air that is. And scarce on the ground these days. (Relurking now.)
