MCH6 sell or keep?

[diver-man]

Hi, I have second hand Coltri MCH6 which I bought few years ago. It has Honda GX 160 petrol engine. The compressor works just fine. With the new safety valve it fills up to 250 Bar.

Recently I did regular maintenance and few additional upgrades:

• new engine oil
• new spark plug
• new transmission belt
• new compressor oil
• new filter cartridge with CO catalyst
• new intake hose & filter
• new filling hose
• new safety valve 250 Bar original Coltri

Unfortunatelly it has no pressure maintaining valve, which would cost additional ~180 Eur.

Now I'm doubt whether it should keep it and be happy with it or...

Sell it as a good shape unit, save some more money and buy new e.g. LW 100 B LW 100 B | L&W Compressors

What's your oppinion?

I had 2 MCH6, they died after 50 hours.
My friend had 2 MCH6 in his dive shop, they died after 50 hours.
Dying meens they were scrap metal: broken pipes, piston destroyed, krankshaft destroyed, lot of blow by.
It was not worth repairing.
Sell your Coltri MCH6 as long as it works.
