I have a dive compressor made from a Honda 4hp motor and and a 263 air pump on the air pump one is intake is sucking air and one is pushing is that correct or is there something wrong and what do I need to correct the problem if so. I bought the set up used and that's how it was from I got it. I am talking about the two air intake one is sucking and one is pushing air out. I am not talking about were the heater hose and dive hose hooks up.

Yoi!

Yes, there is one intake and one outflow. You want to hook your regulator to the outflow. And for God's sake make sure the compressor exhaust is FAR AWAY from the air intake.

Here's a video.



Make sure your loved ones are provided for with the proper insurance and have the bank account numbers recorded in a safe place.

Good luck.

could be flapper valve sticking... or sleeve needs to be replaced...
Did you just obtain this unit? ... if so you need to rebuild it anyway... no matter what someone tells you about the unit, it makes good sense to rebuild... should be kit with instructions available.
Not hard to do ... take your time and make it right... a lot depends on it.
It will give you piece of mind in the end that the parts are new and working properly... I am not sure about your unit ... but my Brownie rebuild runs under 200... I rebuild whenever I even suspect a poss prob.

just do a google search for your make and model rebuild kit... I am not even sure what type you have etc... I think you have a keene model by that "263" type #... I will also do a search... if it is what I think it is one they use for dredge as well.
