I've got a Saylor Beall VT-PL-735-80 compressor that I picked up on epay for $400. Works great but a while back I noticed there was a valve (or something) that had apparantly come loose and fallen off, and now I cant find it. If you saw my shop, you'd understand... Anyway, can anybody ID it and more importantly, will it be ok to run without it? When its running, as it goes through its compression cycle, a little escapes as it compresses. Any help would be most appreciated! Link to pic. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/rgibson30/84_1.jpg
Need a better picture!...my "Champion" monster 2 cyl compressor looks similar to yours,same green paint even!..if the valve has a diaphram in it like a fuel pump,it could be the "centrifical unloader" valve,that lets the compressor "free wheel" with no compression,until it reaches a certain RPM...
If you can get a better close up photo,maybe someone here can tell you exactly what it is..I have a "Grainger" catalog,that has pictures of air compressor valves,so once I see it,I could probably identify it..
That pic was the only one I could find on the net, cant get one of mine because the only thing there now is a threaded hole. I'll look and see what I can dig up, I may just email Saylor Beall and ask them, but I'll bet you're right about it being the unloader valve. Does still start up fine though, but I havent run it at high pressure, might not then.
