[QUOTE="woody, post: 1937, member: 1"] Continue with all four tires....well, almost... [ATTACH=full]933[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]934[/ATTACH] With the compressor in the sun and about 27ish minutes into the process, there was 40psi on the 4th tire...and the compressor shut off. Completely. So, out comes the manual...hmmm...hey, look...there's an Overheat Protection Circuit...I guess 240-250 degrees is the cutoff point for this. I allowed the compressor to cool down to a gun-confirmed 100 degrees (about 15 minutes) and it fired back up to complete that final tire. Just for good measure, I aired down one tire again and aired it back... no issues. (note to self: place compressor in the shade during use) For a small portable compressor, this worked perfectly. I would be "more than surprised" if it had the volume to seat a bead, but it DID do a fine job of airing up a plugged tire from flat to 30psi. [B]Specifications:[/B] [LIST] [*]1/3 horsepower oil-less direct drive motor [*]30 amp inline fuse [*]2.54 cfm [*]Easy twist screw-on brass inflator top [*]Quick release 16-foot coil hose. [*]Anti-vibration rubber feet [*]Can be permanently mounted and hard-wired [*]Auto-thermal cutoff switch -- protects motor against damage [*]Built-on cleanable airfilter [*]Storage bag included [*]Maximum airflow - 72 liters per minute [*]Maximum voltage - 13.8 volts [*]Maximum amperage draw @ 120 psi [*]Maximum restart pressure - 150 psi [*]Maximum operating temperature - 140 deg F [*]Minimum operating temperature - 67 deg F [*]Maximum continuous cycle time (Duty cycle) - 40 minutes @ 40 psi @ 75 def F [*]Storage bag included [*]Integrated 150 PSI - Easy to read pressure gauge [/LIST] Current Pricing (2013-07-25 - Amazon): $79.99 [url]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004K296N6/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004K296N6&linkCode=as2&tag=ihco-20[/url] Also, if you are looking for the "big brother" to this compressor, the SmittyBilt 2781 doubles the CFM rating...but also increases the price to $149.99 [url]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004K25GMG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004K25GMG&linkCode=as2&tag=ihco-20[/url] [/QUOTE]
