roadrunner255 enthusiast Registered: 01/20/05 Posts: 270 Loc: Washington DC	Good morning all, I have a Sears Craftsman 240v 6hp/33 gallon compressor 919.152930 (made by deviblis)that is leaking air under the regulator (AC-0007)diaphram. When increasing or decreasing pressure (turning in or out of the knob) more or less air will escape. I did notice that when disassembling the regulator knob there is a flat rubber/metal washer that looks like the rubber may have deteriorated. Can't seem to find that part just the complete regulator. Would anyone have any information? Thanks! Edited by roadrunner255 (11/05/11 09:10 AM)
