i have this compressor but no motor. what kind of motor do i need what size. and it compressor hasnt been used for years. but it works what can i do do tune it up? Bill answers... Hi Alex: In theory, you can use any electric motor that has the same HP, same voltage, same mounting configuration, same shaft size, and if the old motor was a TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled motor), that style too. The reality is that identifying a compatible motor might be beyond the ability of folks that only do this sort of thing once or twice a lifetime. So, may I suggest you visit the Speedaire page on this site, and follow the guidelines to contacting your local branch. They will be able to help you. Just go back to the home page and follow the link to the Speedaire page from the nav bar. Regarding the 'tune up', if it hasn't a motor, how do you know it works? In any case, if it is a lubricated model, I would change the oil. Other than that, you need to get a motor on it and get it to run up to cut-out pressure so you can see if any other issues surface. Cheers, Bill
