Hi imprior...
Adjust your belt and try it again...
Adjust your belt so that it has 3/4" of belt deflection in the belt when you push on it with your finger.
It could just be your belt just too loose to finish bulding up the pressure to the cut off pressure.
Please take time to rate me
Do not bother with diagram, remove old belt and go to hardware/car part store and tehy will find what belt you need and replace it for you.
If original belt do not exist, with bit of string or pliable old garden hose measure total lenght of the belt, measure and write down belt pulley groove width and depth, and on base of that one car place or hardware store will be able to find you suitable belt.
Your Craftsman model 919.165200, 5hp, 20 gallon compressor was designed to run on 115~120v 15amp. I believe that it was made by Campbell Hausfeld and is of the oilless single cylinder type. If however your compressor is oil lubed and has a motor /drive belt configuration it may be able to convert if there is a spec plate on the motor with alternate wiring diagram. Many high-end compressors like Rol Air, Jenny, Dewalt, etc with motor/belt drive have a switch selectable voltage, however one must still change the power cord when using 220v. Good luck with your projects and post again if your have other question.
The image below is an exploded view of the motor on the 3gal 1.5hp craftsman compressor. There are no belts for this model. For more info check out the link I provided
You can buy them at any sears store or go to any automotive parts store and take the belt with you and you can get a new belt. If you can't read the numbers you can wrap a string around the pulleys and make the string and take it to a automotive store and buy a replacement belt. If you need help putting it on post here.
hi mate if the pump is connected then it doesnt have a belt its direct drive and if the motor is seperate from the pump unit then it belt driven i dont understand as the picture is a direct drive (no belt)
