Re: Compressor Failures
ha ha its compressor week ! went to a call yesterday low on gas capillary line to l/p leaking fixed that topped up gas not cooling very well,returned today off with its head {prestcold 3hp semi} gave it a quick switch on/off low and behold one piston moves the other has fell out with the con rod! but when it was running not noisey at all so whoever started the post its money making time!
