[sudo-discuss] air compressor and plasma cutter

[Jake]

I did a lot of research and the answer is, none of the things pictured are 
the problem, they are leaking as a symptom of the check valve 
malfunctioning.

If someone orders a new check valve i'll install it and we'll have a 
perfectly properly functioning air compressor again.

Also we need some oil for it:
"Chevron synthetic 5W-30, Mobil 1 5W-30 or 10W-30 synthetic motor oil. 
Using other types of oil will cause starting problems"

can i get some excitement about us getting a plasma cutter?
