as blast off said, it could be a oil pressure problem. get yourself an oil pressure gauge and a few fittings and check it before purchasing. it can become a really bad deal !
Smith compressor
I ran across a really nice smith 185 today for a very good price. The only problem is I think it has an electrical issue, Sometimes it will want to die unless you hold the bypass button. Is there any way to obtain a wiring diagram anywere. Would really like to figure this out
Also once i get this going I would like to connect it together with my other comp. do you just T them together or is there more to it?

yep, most likely engine oil pressure cut off switch. the problem is that you will have to buy a new one to test it. sometimes they will be filled with oil/dirt and wont work properly, clean it, clean the contacts and try again. tipically it is located on the side of the engine block, fitted through an oil gallery.
