Hello, I have 2 Craftsman compressors giving me the same problem. They
are as follows:
are as follows:
Model: 919.167240 - 15 gallons - 150PSi.
Model: 919.165500 - 33 gallons - 135PSi.
The motors/engines work but the gages don't report any pressure. Also,
after close inspection It appears to be that the tanks are in great
condition. Both these items are relativeley new and I was wondering if
anybody in this forum can suggest a way to troubleshoot these items. I
called Sears and they say they would charge me $57.99 + parts for a
minor repair or $97.95 + parts for a major repair.
Please assist. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

It's probably just the cheap indicators that Sear's has become famous for
attaching to just about all of their tooling/equipment that requires an
indicator to the user. Oxy/Ace regulators are the same, exchanged an oxygen
cylinder 2 seperate times because the indicator showed the cylinder was
dead. Finally bought indicators from an independent attached them to the
regulators and bingo. The quality of anything Craftsman is questionable,
they seem to be more interested in producing "gadget" or "gimmick" tools
rather than being focused on the quality of the brand as they once were.

Well,
I decided to pop open the pump/motor compartment on my 919.167240. I
think I found the problem. The "Timing Belt" is broken (Part AC-0815)
was broken. I went to sears online and found out the price is $9.95 for
the replacement. I guess this would explain why despite the motor
turning no pressure would build up in the tank. Anyways, this leads me
to my next question. Is installing the timing belt as simple as running
it through both gears, or is it more than I'm anticipating. Please
advise!!
