3 hp electric is fine for that pump. Just a fyi about those pumps use thick break in oil for a while then switch to the ams oil synthetic compressor oil. Those pumps don't use a calm shell bearings on the rods like roll air pumps do.3hp motor, Emglo L pump. Just got it hooked up yesterday. 13cfm up to 120psi, then 12cfm up to 150psi. I'll keep an eye out for a 5hp, but this is good for now, it's only on a 30 gal tank.
Thanks. It's from '84, so I'll skip the break in oil. Where do I get the ams oil synthetic compressor oil from?3 hp electric is fine for that pump.

Thanks. Now I just need to paint the tank and see if I can find an Emglo decal kit. This is what it started out as.Awesome job on the compressor
That's a great picture. How many miles total on that trip? I've got a little old SV650, great little machine.On the great divide about 3 years agoView attachment 14502 not to far from Wyoming, Vstrom 1000.

We just made it to the Wyoming border and we had to retreat to Canada, about 3000 kilometers,,(2000 miles)I wish I would have had the Vstrom 650 it has the same power to weight ration and gets double the fuel milage, great bikes none the less.That's a great picture.
