Heads up out there for those of you using gas powered air compressors in your line of work. The GP80145SW 8 gallon wheelbarrow air compressor has one small issue.

And I mean that in a tongue in cheek fashion.

If the pull chord for the gas engine or the pilot valve needs to be replaced, the twin stack air tanks need to be removed completely.

This will add about one (1) labor hour or so to the overall repair. Which could put this $1000 air compressor in the BER category.

BER = Beyond Economic Repair.

You may not have a problem for a couple of years of use.

But an oil change for the gas engine, pump, filters for both, a pull cord and unloader pilot valve can equal almost half the cost of a new compressor.

If you need just a pull chorder you will have an hour plus in labor and the pull chord cost itself.

Or if you need just the unloader pilot valve you could see a repair bill nearing/at/exceeding $300.00!

Make sure you take the time to learn what repairing the compressor will cost a couple years in on ownership before you put your hard earned money on the line.

Warranties, lifetime or otherwise, are good. But how many times do you want to go through the warranty process?

Have a terrific day out there.
