I have a Ingersol Rand ss5 compressor I bought from Tractor supply a few years ago. It started struggling and would stall out at 50 - 60 psi. I replaced the valve plate assembly, gaskets and check valve. The first time I ran after replacing parts it ran up to 100 psi and then stalled again and now it is back to where it was 50 - 60 psi stall.
I have noticed that if I use it turning it on and off before stalling that each time the pressure will be higher than the previous cycle and will eventually get to the pressure switch cut out pressure around 127 psi and will work somewhat normally from there. But once the unit cools down the whole process starts over again. also, it seems to be producing a lot more water than it used to and that the new check valve and air in the tank is very hot. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
