Hoping some of you mechanic type guys can share your wisdom with me. I have a large air compressor V-twin type that I'm having trouble with. It surges and almost stalls out at times. Other times it runs just fine. We just took it off the tank and took the heads off. The pistons haven't even scuffed off the cross-hatching in the bores and the crank spins very easily. We cleaned off the butterfly valves in the head but again everything there was clean and seemed to be in good shape. We have drained the oil and will refill with new after reassembly.
The tank is drained of water, the compressor seems OK, but why is it surging and stalling? There is a pressure sensor line that Tee's off to a solenoid that shuts off the unit at a given pressure. Could this be defective? We just put a new electric motor on it a couple months ago.
Anybody care to share any insight?
