While back I posted about my compressor making an awful noise and smoking.
Fast forward, I purchased a new compressor unit and when I installed it, now it appears the regulator is bad.
It will come to pressure but I noticed right away the distinctive brief air exhaust sound does not happen when it shuts off. It also erratically started the pump even though pressure was met.
So I've ordered a new regulator. I'm keeping the new compressor pump I figure what happens was the regulator wasn't shutting it down and the pump overheated.
I guess what I'm asking is where does the air release that occurs when the compressor stops come from?
I checked the small release valve at the end it's the regulator pressure tube it seems ok, I also checked the pressure tube itself it was not blocked or occluded.
Thanks guys.
BTW it's a 5HP single stage compressor even at $490 For the pump it's cheaper to fix.
