It is new to me so I dont know how it starts up. It was a basket case...I just rebuilt the pump, replaced every thing except LP piston with OE parts from Evilbay. I have not run it yet, but I would like it to run the rest of my life. 1-man shop, so I dont have huge demand, but I have an abrasive cabinet and various air tools. It has a 3/4NPT port for a low oil switch option which I dont have so I was going to add an immersion heater. Ive seen 65W, 100W for $20, I just dont really have a feeling if that is enough or too much for continuous use on a cold day. Its outside for space and noise reasons.
My GD compressor used to need frequent oil changes due to milky oil so I hoping to help prevent it on this one.
