Air Venturi 4500 psi compressor won't pressurize

[macbut999]

I think PA has most of the other parts. You might find some of the same on AliExpress when you order the high-pressure seals.

PA postage charge is $44.21 just for an air filter thats ridiculous, need to find something aftermarket at a reasonable price

I called Air Venturi this morning. They suggested that I ship the unit back to them, They were very nice and easy to deal with. I am now in the market for a back up. Thanks to all you helped me out.

Get a GX Cs4 for your primary. There is a slightly used one in classified right now. Much better and easier to use. I have both.

Sure enough the Tuxing upper piston rings fit but they are a pain to compress to get the cylinder over them without the correct sizing tool

Look forward to seeing how they work out. I still haven't run mine again. I need to at least stretch it's legs with a dead head a time or two.

Just ordered the tuxing high pressure seals after mangling 3 from pyramid. Air Venturi seals are now on back order.

Any helpful installation tips? Ran into trouble trying to get the seals seated using the tool. Seems they weren’t completely in the slot before I ran the tool over them and stretched them badly.

Stretch them as little as possible to get them over the piston. Then I reshape them into the grooves as far as I can with my fingers. I start down over the piston with the tool and then lifting it back off to check and make sure there is no issues. You might do this two or three times while you're installing the seals.
