Picked up a new-to-me westfalia - 1984, 1.9L - in large part because a mechanic gutted the vacuum system and rebuilt it using no rhyme or reason. They also tossed all the old connectors and lines! So thats fun.

Im trying to find information on a few things.

Is #5 a connector or a restrictor? If it’s a restrictor, any body have any information on specs?

Anyone have the dimensions or specs on the tubing (#6 and #25?)?

What is #26?! Im slightly mechanically inclined and I got nothing.

How do I know if my compressor is fried? And what would even fry a compressor?

I have a 170 - 200 psi pressure switch. I know I should probably swap it for a 140-160 or something. But when I run the compressor I don’t even come close to building pressure. No known leaks, sprayed a whole bottle of soapy water. When I unplug it from the tank, the compressor doesn’t feel… strong?

How do I tell if it needs to be replaced? And how could this happen? It’s new. I’ve only run it 4-5 times. But it was cheap.
