Hey folks,
I have low air pressure in my 2006 Sportster DI. I believe the low pressure is coming from a leak at the compressor head - either at the cover or the compressor body. There is a gasket between the cover and the body so that's easy to replace. There's also an o-ring at the bottom end of the compressor body, which is also easy to replace. However, air compressor overhaul kits include the compressor sleeve and piston, which isn't so obvious to replace. I have the shop manual for my boat, but there's nowhere in the manual that talks about changing the air compressor piston or sleeve. Does anyone have any guidance on how this is done?
