Just want to pop my head up and say thanks for this thread. I used to be active on this forum but now my Venture has pretty much sat for 4 years as I play with a Tenere 700. Went to go for a ride with the wife today and all I got was a slow idle and no clicking. I took off the side cover and tapped the fuel pump and voila ! gas. This isn't my first rodeo with replacing the points but didn't remember the part number. Thanks @Du-Rron

Just did some quick research and apparently 200 volt motors are not unusual on A/C systems. I think, if I read it correctly, they are sometimes used on 208 Volt line systems. That being the case, I would go with the 10 HP drive. I think if the line voltage is within 10% of the rated motor voltage you will be fine. Wow, I haven’t been an electrician for about 35 years. I’ve forgotten a lot.

Nice touch for a custom look.

Just my thoughts. An AC compressor is built different than an air compressor, but I suppose your know that. There are reasons for this and in some cases things like this might work. One thing I think of is that the AC compressor sends oil into a closed system, so what are you going to do with the oil in a one-way system and you will need to supply the compressor with new oil on time.

There’s my “duh” moment for the day. I was reading it as an air compressor 🤷‍♂️
