When it worked I loved it. Now about this much with a hammer. It sat in my empire of dirt too long, this was motor recovery so my buddy might be able to use it on his little Shoebox clone that twisted off the motor shaft.
How much did I love my cs pump?

I have repaired several small PCP compressors and couldn't help but wonder about parts substitution.
Please keep us informed as to which compressors are referenced and whether parts can be substituted between them.
I have encountered at least "CS1 clones" that had broken shafts but wasn't ambitious enough to pull down a second compressor at the time.
I frequently wish that I had done so.

It's a shame you did contact one of our members here colt 1900. He has all the parts at a very reasonable price to repair all GX CS pumps. I think you could still by the parts off him as it sits and have a working compressor cheaper then buying a new one from him. By the way everyone he warranties them and you can talk to him about problems so the right parts are coming your way.

I had repaired this guy until I felt the roi wasn't worth it anymore. It hit the threshold of time and being in the way for the archived of junk. I mostly beat it up for the fun and to save the motor in a timely manner for my buddy.
I'm never going back from a large compressor. At least it's all modular and I can substitute or make parts myself.

I have a mill and a lathe and can fix about anything but the question is how much time and for what return. See the Pic of one of my current compressors. I'm done with these little toy sized ones if they're over 200 bucks.Upvote 0
I recall when an acquaintance ran one of his Kawaski KX250s low on oil, fried the camshaft and burned the cam bores out of the head. He is partner in a machine operation that repairs helicopter driveline and aircraft turbine components, so I asked him why he didn't repair the head. He related his partner's comment, "You could repair it, but why not get a job at McDonald's? You could earn the money to buy new parts, ad $8/hour, faster than you could repair that head.".I broke it up with a hammer for this reaction
A bit hyperbolic, but it agrees with what I heard you say.
