My air compressor has been acting up. Sometimes when it shuts off I get air continually blowing out of the on/off switch from the small line, this does not happen every time. For some reason I think that small line is a blow off line to remove pressure from the cylinder head - is this correct? Can someone tell me how this works, I'm assuming when it reaches pressure the switch trips off releasing air to blow off from the shrader valve thing on top of the small line. Are there valves in to top head of the compressor that are sometimes sticking? Can I remove the air filter and spray something in the top of the head - carb cleaner/Marvel Mystery oil? Is there any service I can do, it does not happen every time. It has also seems like the belt has been slipping but I saw one of the spot weld that hold the motor to the cradle broke free allowing the motor to move and the belt loosening, I retacked that.
The compressor is just an average single stage 5 hp.
Thanks, Steve
