Just finished this, a bit of a change from making tables

I took (what sounds like what you said) off (big pipe from compressor, small copper pipe to pressure switch) and it seems to be fine, but then I don't know what a good one would look like, it had a very light spring in it and the rubber was like one off the old type of tap washers (minus hole)...

One capacitor is in a plastic case and the other is in a aluminium case, sip have sprayed the motor and all it's houshings black, along with the capacitors, I thought it might be a case of the motor is this size/power and this is what capacitors are needed, but apparently it's not that easy.

Yes, if the drain cock is left open it does start, and when I stop it (with drain cock open) and start it again it is fine. As said, I have put a new switch/pressure on but still no joy. I was wondering if the start capacitor is faulty and when underload it just does not do it, but if I take the...

There are two capacitors on the top of the motor, would the run capacitor still work if no load on the motor and when I connect the belt it struggles?

I have just dumped all the air out and it fills up and switches off, but if I switch off the motor whilst it is filling or halffull and switch it back on it goes into it's "oh do I have to start up again mode". It's like me when I try to get up in the morning (and I mean get out off bed).

Oil is on the mark, never thought of taking the belt off, so I have just done that, both turn freely and when I turn the compressor I can hear the valve/pressure/unload switch making a hiss when I turn. Also the motor starts up fine when no belt is on.

How do I know what capacitors to get, they have no markings on them.

Hello all, I have a old Sip compressor has worked fine for many years, dropped a bit of wood on the unloader/pressure switch which broke the plastic cover but still worked for a few more years, but recently it now tries to start, a bit like turning your car over with a flatish battery and then...
