Well I did it again. I fergot to turn on the pump when I started the compressor. Thought I smelled something odd burning, did not remember my YH smelling like that before, then I looked down and saw the smoke rising up from the head. The temperature read out just said "HI" never saw that in my three 100Deg C overheats of my first compressor. Anyway I plugged in the pump first then shut it down shortly after. Expected I had killed it as I ran it for at least 4 minutes, to fill my Impact which it did, without cooling. After a five minute cool down I turned it on and it reluctantly at first fired up. So I topped off my 90ci Ninja tank from 3000 to 4200psi expecting it to fail but it did not. Looks like I dodged the bullet again. The main reason I purchased a second compressor is because I had concerns about the longevity of my first since I had overheated it so many times. So I go and baptize the second with fire before I even had an hour on it. Grrr... 
 
I did the same exact thing a couple of months ago but caught it within maybe 10 sec or so...thank goodness. Once I hit the 6 month mark (now at 8) on my YH I went ahead and bought another one knowing eventually i will need to replace. I fill a couple of friends bottles also so I have worked the pee out of this compressor and the original is still purring like a kitten. Nice to see I'm not the only one that has made this mistake. lol

Shambozzie I have one of those spinning wheels, that you use on the computer cooling systems, on the unit so it's very easy to see if the water is flowing unless one is having a moment, or minutes in this case, of brain dysfunction. I am headed to home depot and Lowes to find a power strip that will handle the load, as suggested, so this does not happen again

I think I am just old enough to be doing this kind of stuff but I have brain damage and old timers too so it's kind of hard for me to tell which one is causing all the turmoil especially for a young lad of sixty-seven like me.
