I own a portable with a shurflo 150psi and 2 stages vaccum, there is a weird burning smell coming out of the portable... The pump is only one year old. Any suggestions at what should I look at? is it the pump or motor? Thanks in advance for your advice. |

You may have burnt out a vac motor. Take it to an electrical repairer. ------------- Dont treat people like customers. Treat them like friends. |

Burning smell with a high pitch? 
Your bearings fried in your vac motor.
 It could be brushes but brushes last a long time.
 Never had brushed wear down before the bearings.
 It's always the bearings.
Moisture dries up the bearing grease.
 Replace with 3 stage.

Hi, The best you can do now if the vac machines smell burns,try to bring it in the repair shop and let them check you vac motor so that they can fix it all....so,the damage will no longer become more complicated..... |
