Air Pump
The Humber User Manual makes it quite clear that the air pump (compressor) is not to be run at over 1000 RPM. Below is what happens when you do.
Piston crank is twisted, and the crankshaft housing has been near ripped off. Going by the welding on the crank housing this has happened before! In my defense: 1/ There is a hand written sign showing "On" and "Off", which is the wrong way around. 2/ It has not worked since I got it, so it may or not be me at fault. It appears to be a fairly generic item, and that a Ford Blitz one will fit (Right side of Gearbox vs Chev, Left side.) I was quite chuffed with this until I realised that I could not find my Ford one because I sold it at Corowa a few years back.....Ain't it always the way. Rich.

Bother,
I hope you don't have too many more problems, Rich. You've had more than you need. Funny story about mine. When I went to look at it it was supposed to be a sweet runner. When we started it up to take it for a test drive, it had a low down, deep knock like a big end bearing knock. The knock increased with the engine rev's and didn't sound too good. We then negotiated a much better price and I arranged for it to be back loaded to home. When it arrived at home, it was unloaded in the yard, but not where I wanted it. So, after the truck left I started it up and there was no knock. Well, an intermitant knock is worst than a constant knock, so I drove it carefully to where I wanted it and then had a good look at it. Checked the lights, horn, indicators etc. All worked. I then decided to try the tyre pump and guess what, the knock returned. Sometimes you just have to have a win. Doesn't happen often enough though. And No! I didn't engage it in the first place. (Didn't think of it). Good Luck. Rick.
