Thread: Air compressor electrical advice needed

Tweet

Usally there is pressue in the tank it does not have to be much though.
See as soon as it build pressure above the piston it's not letting enough air out of the cylinder and builds head pressure, it's like the timming being off and the valves don't open in you motor and this makes it hard to crank, thus blowing the circuit breaker or tripping it. I had the same problem a couple years back and thought I needed to replace the motor but it was just the valve that lets the pressure off the head. That by pass valve is probably gummed up and needs replaced.
