I have a Speedaire Air Compressor, I just replaced the cylinder head due to the valves were bad.
Now, when I turn the compressor on, the pressure goes up to 140lbs, once its reaches 140lbs, the compressor automatically shuts off. The Bleed Off Valve then bleeds off down to 95lbs which then turns the compressor automatically on returning it up to the 140lbs. If I turn the compressor switch off at the 140lbs, the Bleed Off Valves bleeds the pressure down to 120lbs and stops there. My understanding is that the compressor should shut off at 125lbs, then once the pressure drops to 95lbs, it would kick back on. The only thing that should cause the pressure to drop from the 125lbs is when it is being drawn down by use of air tools not the Bleed Off Valve. Any Suggestions? Attached image(s) ![]() |

What I was thinking (which could very well be wrong) is that the pressure in the tank hits 140lbs, actually 125lbs now that I've adjusted the contact, which then pushes the check valve in the closed position shutting off the flow from the cylinders, forcing a blast of air through the smaller copper line which then trips the contact, which would then shut down the electric motor. But, the valve is staying open, which bleeds all the air out of the tank until it hits 95lbs, which then starts the electric motor and drives the cylinders, and fills the tank up again.
