Vevor Air Compressor

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Hmmm. The Vevor Air Rover just like Thomas's arrived very nicely packed, with a signed inspection tag. Following the instructions, I powered it up, turn on the fan and let it run for a bit, then closed the bleed valve and turned on the compressor. I can sure hear it working. But no air is entering the hose or the reservoir of the Airacuda. Neither of the needles will budge. After turning off the compressor, no air escapes when I open the bleed valve. I hope I am doing something wrong and it is not the compressor. Nothing like have a new PCP to play with and no air ... :confused:

Do you feel air coming out when it's not connected? If it's an empty pcp it may help cocking it and sometimes just smacking it on the sides so so the valve seals. These are low volume compressors but ive used it on 3 empty pcps and they all took a bit before the poppet seated. And watch for leaks on the whip connections , especially the filter.

Tried again and there is a very small volume of air being pumped out through the Foster fitting on the front of the compressor. I let it run for several minutes and it would not move the needle, nor was there a detectable escape of air after turning off the compressor and opening the bleed valve. I can easily hold my thumb against the output fitting.

See if you can hear air or feel it coming out the barrel. Did you try cocking it or slaping it on the sides while filling? Try holding it vertical when smacking, not hard . Sometimes dry firing works. New airguns with zero pressure have this problem sometimes . We tried with a hand pump once to see if we could get the valve to close but went back to the compressor and it finally worked.

When I fit the Foster screw adaptor onto the end of the whip, turn on the compressor and slowly close the bleed valve, when it is fully closed as tight as I can turn, there is barely enough air coming out of the whip to blow out a match. Surely a compressor should have more power than that.

Did you find the plug for the for the airline ? Put the plug in and run up the pressure. Be ready to turn it off fast after you close your bleed valve. Or keep your hand on the bleed screw and open it after it builds pressure. They are a low volume Hi pressure pump. Topping off my 400cc tank usually takes around 5 min.

It will need to run a few minutes before the gauge even moves on an empty airgun. After your poppet valve seals.

No need to muscle the bleed valve screw.
