Whats the shelf life of a new compressor? I bought one from Eric over a year ago, and never installed it. I am getting around to installing it finally. I want to make sure there is no shelf life issue.

I wouldn't think there is a shelve life, especially on a new one... not unless it was tampered with.
i"ve pulled mchines out of barns that have been sitting for over 20-30 years and after some new wiring they fire right up..

There isn't any self life on compressors, as long as they have all of the original caps and plugs in place.

Erics warranty might be up (can't remember what it is), but I wouldn't think there would be a shelf life.

I'm sure the warranty is up.. I don't expect any problems with it. I may just get around to finally installing it and I didn't know about the oil inside... I guess a good vacuum should stir it all up pretty well.
