I’m looking for a part that is not listed. I have a C2002 Type 5, 150 PSI 6 gallon air compressor. the part is the sleeve with spring that holds the brush. In one of my sleeves, the spring is broke, causing the brush to hang up, not letting the spring apply proper tension on the brush, making the compressor spark like crazy, and then stop running.
