My Used MCH-6
- The engine originally had some trouble getting fuel due to a rusted up and crudded up gas tank. This is a first run test of the engine after cleanup of the gas tank and fuel screens. Also first test of the compressor. Moisture accumulator and filter drains were spitting out quite a bit of moisture and foamy oil-gunk at first. I test filled this old Scuba cylinder several times. First time at 2.9 cfm. Later as the compressor began to work itself in, I filled several times at up to 3.5 cfm. That's a good-n-fast fill rate and the scuba cylinder was HOT when full.
- I changed the oil. And after some more run-time, the drainage from the moisture accumulator has become less and less mucky. It is now spraying out a watery mist with a thin film of oil. The drainage from the filter spigot has become almost totally dry. I am very happy with this compressor.
