I have a Paslode air 1.5hp air nailer with a Rol-Air compressor. This summer the compressor would start slow and pop the circuit breaker. I replaced the start-up/run capacitor and it fixed the problem. However two months ago it started doing the same thing again. I tried everything and almost threw it away till I found your video and you stated it could be the extension cord being too long so I tried compressor without my 100 ft extension cord and that fixed my issue. Couldn't believe that a voltage drop from the cord would cause that problem. I tried some heavier gauge cords that were shorter and they also worked! Thanks for the video and useful and less obvious tips!

Thank you for advice, you saved me alot of time, my head gasket was leaking.thanks have fun.

[caqui]

Thank you! I had a leak under my pressure switch after air filled in tank. Tested the none return valve like you said, I replaced the none return valve and now my compressor is up and running.

My compressor starts fine after a few minutes of running it will stop and won't start again. If I then leave it for about 30 minutes it will start again. I suspect the pressure switch but I haven't changed it yet. Has anybody got any ideas? please.

I think i have found the problem with my sgs compressor thanks to this clip

Excellent advice well explained. Will that model be adequate for spraying?

youtube most useful social media tool in the net I can live without any other social media out there but without youtube we be going back to the old days when these local profesional used to rip us off all the time now we watch a video and do it ourselves and save a ton of money

very useful video, great tips and tricks and told in a way that you don’t need a doctorate

Also, check the reduction valve. Sometimes that rubber seal needs some red rubber grease to help it seal. All part of a valve service I guess.

Just bought one today but there is air leaking from the non return valve straight out of the box. Washer and spring look ok, why is this? Luckily the store is local for a replacement, just curious why this should be happening.

If turn on my air compressor it did not run and i only heared a humming sound. Your advice pls. Thanks.

My compressor doesn't stop running. The pressure gauge only at 2 bar. unable to reach 8 bar to stop. I looked for leaking but i cannot find it since there's no leaking sound. What cause this issue usually?

[johnysilver]

My compressor starts working and builds pressure up to 150psi but sometimes during work it will not start and won't keep tank charged. Sometimes it turns on only for a few seconds then goes quiet. Sometimes I hears something that it wants to start like air going somewhere through the pipe for about 2 second and then quiets and stays like that. Fails to keep up pressure in tank when I use it. Pressure goes low as 50psi but compressor doesn't start. Then I had to open drain valve to release remaining air pressure in the tank. Disconnect it from AC power for few minutes and it starts working again build up to 150psi again. I don't hear any air leaks. What could be wrong??

hi.i have the same compressor !after ca 1minute the rpm slows down and it stalling, no air leaking

[jamesv]

The plastic pressure line from the non return valve to the pressure switch is leaking where it goes into the pressure switch/reg body, how am I best to remove the line at this end?

[RZIL]

great video, if it is rebranding FINI SUPERTIGER VKM 4020-100-3M ?

[blackieswart]

I have air coming out of the oil filler cap how do i fix that

[colassolorzano]

Hello. .. my thermal overload switch. Wont let my compressor buid more then 50 psi. An til cold down... do you know where i can buy it. Par number is 17am-kp
145a0. Thanks.

[raakmore]

My compressor is rated 125 psi but it only will build up to 98 PSI. Can you help me please?

[DH-mflv]

I inherited my Dad's 2 HP 17 Liter air compressor. He used it for his nail gun. It never shuts off. Once the PSI gets to around 125 PSI, the relief valve opens and stays open until the psi reduces to 90 psi. At that time the relief valve closes and the pressure begins to rise til it gets back to 125 psi and then the relief valve opens again. Of course all this occurs while the nail gun is not being used. I sure wish my Dad was still here! Is this normal? I would appreciate a response. Thanks
