Walked past a wheelie bin today and saw something shining. Picked it out and it was an electric tyre inflator.
Looked brand new (Chinese) but looked like it had two pistons a massive motor and a presettable pressure gauge.
Took it home and it didn’t pump much pressure. Four O rings between the two piston cylinders had been caught out of their grooves on assembly and were distorted. A quick look in the multipack box of O rings and we were back working after I reset it to PSI instead of Kp.
Nice bright led light on it too.
They didn’t even try to fix it.
I going to make a handled box for it to take a small 12v battery and have a portable inflator for the karts.
