The Poor Boy Air Compressor

We heard this one and had to tell you about it.

You don’t have an air compressor for your dirt buggy?  The big weekend run is coming up and you’re worried about having another double flat like last time? Remember how mad you wife was because she had to spend the night in the middle of nowhere?

You can’t afford to buy an air compressor because you have already spent the rent money on that lift kit she doesn’t know about yet.  Well we got a solution for those of you who are a do it yourselfer.

Here is what you’ll need:

·        An old spark plug (must fit your engine)

·        Dia and Tap Kit

·        An air hose fitting with a ¼” thread

·        A regular air hose long enough to reach all 4 tires.

Ok now you’re in business.  Remove the ceramic part of the plug and tap it to a 1/4" pipe thread. Using an air hose fitting, (1/4" thread) screw it into the plug.  A regular old tire inflator will now hook up to your hollow plug. Remove a plug from the engine, install your new air plug and start the engine.  You’ve got air. Actually I’d advise you to wait and buy the air compressor.
