Compressor problem
i hope i put this in the right forum...
the compressor i have been using is starting to act funny. its a 60 gallon, 1 phase sanborn compressor. i run all my air tools off of it, and also spray my primer with it. always have worked very well up until a few months ago. i notice when i turn it on, it sounded very week. so i changed the oil in it, and it still starts a little week, and when it gets past 50 psi, it starts to sound like it really strains. this happens every so often. BUT, when it gets up to about 90 psi, it always just basically stops turning, and thats when i turn off the compressor. im starting to get a little worried and really dont want to use it. i need to get this fixed soon as i will be primering my truck within the month. i really hope its something simple. it really seems like the tank needs to be drained, like there is no room for the compressor air to go once it gets past 50psi. but that really doesnt explain why it would sound so week... any suggestions?
