My top of the line DeVilbiss Air comp., was giving me grief all week, Came in Monday morning to find the breaker had blown, flipped it on, everything seemed O.K., ported an Edelbrock Vic. Jr. Int. for a cutomer that day, 10Â½ hours, no issues. Tues. had to clearance an aluminum Hemi block for a Jesel belt drive cover, approx. 4 hours, no prob., Wed., had to rough out some LS-1 heads...well Â½ way through, we got a problem, WTF? 1st thought it was the tank de-compression valve, changed that...worked a tiny bit better on start up for a little while but then back to be very growly on start-up. Tried to get my Comp. service guy out Thurs., but he had a dentist appt.,

, He showed up 1st thing Fri., turned out to be a swtich, was arching out a little but he doesn't touch elec. anymore & I couldn't leave at the time so had to get my Elec. in to look at the switch & run out & grab another...was able to finish up the LS-1 heads this evening, approx. 12Â¾ hours total. What a pain for a porter to have Air Comp. problems, Man...I'll tell ya'
