Hey Roger, I got to work on it last night, and you were right. One of the "caps" that goes on top of the valve assembly was stuck and carboned up!! So I took all them apart, and cleaned them all.Fortunately all the gaskets had been replaced, it had been rebuilt before it had been taken out of service. The gaskets didn't tear of nothing.

It works fine, and I set the psi up to 175 and no problems.It builds up to 175psi in about 3 1/2 minutes on a 200 gal. tank it sounds great, and no leaks!!! By the way I know I asked you before, but I forgot.What kind of oil should I use in this beast? and also my 325? Thanks and GOD bless you for all your help.

A good non-detergent, straight-weight oil is desired. I like Shell Corena 122, since it was what we used, and it worked well, producing very little carbon. Others swear by Mobil 1, as it is not a crude based lubricant, so it should not break down into carbon if the compressor is run hot. I have no experience running it, but it sounds reasonable to me. What you don't want is multi-weight automotive oils. It's guaranteed to give problems.

Congratulations on the fix, you have a very nice machine there. If you are a couple of amps over on the motor I wouldn't sweat it too much.
