Flush the compressor by running dry air through it. Preferably dry nitrogen. But, some people run dry propane through it if they have a bunch of it laying around. Really, though, I prefer using a vacuum pump. Please try to never put any water at all into your compressor.

- Ok, ill hook up a bike tire compressor somehow i think and leave that running a while?

I do not know if you can use the standard mineral oil from walmart. It might be high enough purity. Anyone know that one?

- A book I read said I needed refrigeration mineral oil, but standard mineral oil could easily work i think.

I believe that the three pin power connector is standard AC wiring: hot, neutral and ground. Perhaps someone else knows for certain.

- I know that, but on the connector on the side of my compressor, which one is hot, neutral, and ground?
