Compressor Rebuild

What model/hp is it? Does it still gain pressure quickly, when it's runnin? How big is the breaker it's on now? I'd suspect it should at least be a 20 amp.
I'm sure you're already aware of Northern tool. www.northerntool.com
and surplus center has some of that stuff too. www.surpluscenter.com

ill have to look at it when i get back home,

i know its a 2hp, 20 gallon 120v, oil type, and a pretty high CFM for as small as it is

i got a new bigger huskey compressor, but i want my craftsman for my shed out back, and to take places if i need to.

i really think the compressor itself is great, and it just needs a new motor and a psi switch

A 2HP, 120 V motor will pull around 20 amps when running. To handle startup current, you would need a 40 amp breaker.

start-up is no problem, its randomly when running, i havent figured out what triggers it but its wierd and random and most of the time is blowing the breaker on the motor
