My 6 gal 150 psi compressor will not generate more that 25. Psi. Lots of air coming out of a vent hole on the back

Any ideas about what the issue might be?

Thanks

“Lots of air coming out of a vent hole on the back”
Could that the the drain valve? Try closing it.
Otherwise you’ll need to get the cover off to find where the air is coming from.
It’d be nice is you could supply the actual model number – there are at least four versions of 6 gallon pancakes.

Anyone know if there is a cooling fan out there that can be purchased that is compatible with the McGraw 21gal oil less compressor. I need the fan that’s bolted to the piston housing. Idk why it was broke but it was when I took it out of the box and turned it on, plastic come flying out of the damn thing. I believe the fan is part number 4 in the owners manual. I’ve already contacted harbor freight and the part is not available to purchase.

You might find a fan that will fit in the space.
But it looks like that’s an eccentric impeller.
You likely have to settle for a concentric impeller and drill your own eccentric mount hole.
Take accurate measurements before you go shopping.😎

Here is a new question. I have a Central Pneumatic 2.5 hp, 21 gallon, 125 psi, model 67847 air compressor. My oil sight glass is leaking. Where can I find a replacement. It’s made of clear threaded plastic and has a round fill full circle in the middle. It has a small crack in the threads.

Update I found a 22mm sight glass on Amazon and expect it tomorrow.

Cool. Hope it fits!

just google “sight glass 67847”
If that doesn’t get one or more that says it fits:
You’ll need to masure the diameter and threads to pick a replacement.

I have the 8 gallon McGraw 150 lb. compressor. I got to spray texture. I turned down the pressure on the compressor to 45 lbs. I have a second pressure gauge at the spray device to monitor pressure and to shut off air when not in use. The compressor runs out of air after a minute or so of use. Question. If I turn up the pressure on the compressor to maximum (circa 150 lbs) and use the device pressure gauge to regulate the pressure down to the 45 lbs needed from my use, will I get more use time… Read more »

Yes. Unfortunately the useful output of a given compressor is pretty much limited by the motor horsepower. Rule of thumb is about 3 CFM per horsepower. Your compressor is rated at 4.1 @ 90 PSI. The 8 gallon tank is approximately 1 cubic foot. The 66103, 2471, 60314 sprayer, if that’s what you have, uses 8 CFM @90 PSI. To keep the math simple, if you were to run your sprayer at 50 PSI, You’d use 2/3 of the tank air in two minutes (and the compressor would turn itself on before that). Hypothetically, if the compressor started pumping immediately… Read more »
