I have a SMITH aircompressor with a 460 7.5L engine it around a 1980 year model the carb needs to be rebuilt where can i get a rebuilt kit for it?

I'm looking for one of those lyndsey compressor repair manual. Anyone know how to get one. Any info at all?

I worked for a tool rental company while attending college and learned a great deal about engine /compressor combinations. AOSmith compressors used mainly ford engines to power their reed valve compressor head. The mechanic would use off the shelf carbs from local auto parts store. I would recommend that you remove the carb looking for an id tag or numbers stamped on the carb body to cross refrence it for rebuild kit or just exchange. The carb will not be for a 460 engine however. Since 1/2 of the engine is used for pumping air, the carb will be for an engine of lower displacement. We also rented a brand called Lindsay that used a Chrysler eight cylinder engine with their own design of reed valve head. These compressors would work pretty well untill the reeds started leaking, causing the engine to labor. Easy test, with engine off apply compressed air to discharge port (100psi), with cover removed from compressor head, listen for air escaping past reeds. Repair as needed.
