For some reason it’s just sitting in the box on the pallet with nothing holding it down, I can see that going bad on some deliveries. Ran it for break in and noticed it wasn’t idling up and down. Check out my pics, the small plastic clip the throttle linkage retainer seemed to be upside down and every time it went to idle up or down it would pop out. I swapped that upside down from factory and that fixed my issue. In my pic it’s been swapped. Then I put a small piece of rubber between the throttle valve and the gas tank. It was already digging into the tank pretty bad and I’d imagine it would wear a hole in the tank pretty quick when running. After those two fixes I had 0 issues after running it for around 20 hrs straight blowing sprinklers out. I didn’t have issues with the plastic throttle tube like some had and I inspected it after running the 20 hrs and it shows no signs of failing. Review: Works well - Honda engines are hard to beat. Fired right up and Northern does a good job on the rest of the compressor. It's not too heavy either. Not much heavier than the electric motor version of this compressor. ## Features - Honda GX160 OHV engine with low oil shutdown - Full cast iron pump for long service life - V-style cylinder design for superior cooling - Pump head made of FC35 Grade cast iron - Floating-type Swedish steel valves deliver much longer valve life ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BMPG3CG | | Additional Features | Portable | | Air Flow Capacity | 13.7 cfm | | Best Sellers Rank | #442,477 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #388 in Portable Air Compressors | | Brand | NorthStar | | Brand Name | NorthStar | | Capacity | 20 gallons | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 72 Reviews | | Included Components | Crankshaft | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 41"L x 19"W x 40"H | | Item Highlight | Portable compressed-air supply, Demanding pneumatic-tool use, Jobsite-ready frame, Maintenance-friendly access | | Item Weight | 217 pounds | | Manufacturer | NorthStar | | Manufacturer Part Number | 2743730 | | Material Type | Alloy Steel, Cast Iron | | Maximum Horsepower | 5.5 hp | | Maximum Power | 5.5 hp | | Maximum Pressure | 90 | | Model Name | Air Compressor | | Model Number | 459382 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Power Source | Gasoline | | Recommended Uses For Product | Spraying | | Special Feature | Portable | | Style | Portable | | Tank Volume | 20 gallons | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** NorthStar - **Included Components:** Crankshaft - **Power Source:** Gasoline - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Spraying - **Special Feature:** Portable ## Images ![NorthStar Gas-Powered Air Compressor, 90 PSI, 13.7 CFM - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81cCJgAm8QL.jpg) ![NorthStar Gas-Powered Air Compressor, 90 PSI, 13.7 CFM - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/918fq8agHkL.jpg) ![NorthStar Gas-Powered Air Compressor, 90 PSI, 13.7 CFM - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FlwRpvVeL.jpg) ![NorthStar Gas-Powered Air Compressor, 90 PSI, 13.7 CFM - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81P852hFTbL.jpg) ![NorthStar Gas-Powered Air Compressor, 90 PSI, 13.7 CFM - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Umd-kkvhL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Whats the warranty on this compressor** A: This unit has a 4-year consumer limited warranty and has a 2-year commercial limited warranty. **Q: Is there room to mount a hose reel?** A: Certainly there is no space for a hose reel but you can use the handle for such purposes. **Q: Will this compressor handle a sand blaster?** A: Yes is the simple answer as most sand/media blasters require a minimum of10 CFM at 90PSI and this compressor exceeds that which is why I purchased one. **Q: Is this unit 4 stroke** A: The NorthStar compressor does use a 4 stroke engine. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1 Star as Delivered -5 Stars After Fixing *by B***N on October 31, 2024* Showed up on time and in good shape.

Fired right up and Northern does a good job on the rest of the compressor. It's not too heavy either. Not much heavier than the electric motor version of this compressor. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seems to work well *by K***L on June 15, 2020* I have owned it for 2 months. I knew i would be modifying the base of the tank to fit in my service truck, so i had to completely disassemble the unit to weld on my mounts. I am glad I did, as it needed some work right away. One of the fittings wasn't installed properly and I immediately needed to repair it for proper operation. The vinyl/plastic tubing is not durable enough and I will be upgrading to copper lines soon. All in all, it's a good unit. I think they could have taken more time to assemble it. Shipping was a nightmare and they were not very helpful after my credit card was charged. I would probably but it again if I needed another one. ## Frequently Bought Together - NorthStar Portable Gas-Powered Air Compressor 20-Gal Hor Tank 13.7 CFM @ 90 PSI - 2 Pcs Air Hose Connectors 3 Way Air Hose Fittings 1/4 in NPT Compressor Fittings High Pressure Resistance Manifold Swivel 360 Degrees Connectors Compressor Accessories (Red) - BIG RED TQ20006D-1 Torin Welded Low Profile Pneumatic Hydraulic Car Bottle Jack: Aluminum Alloy Pump and Unique Slow Release Equipment for Auto Repair and House Lift, 20 Ton (40,000 LBs) Capacity, Red --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/13298644-northstar-gas-powered-air-compressor-90-psi-13-7-cfm](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/13298644-northstar-gas-powered-air-compressor-90-psi-13-7-cfm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-10-11*
