Wont go above 40 lbs
1. control the checkvalve on the tank open it to see if there are no small metal impurities in the rubber part on the spring of it the surface must be smooth, 2. pressure pipe coupling from the cylinder to the tank.
if your compressor is a dry type without oil lubrication check the pistonrings and cilinder head gasket and membran control for hole or tear
SOURCE: husky comp on 1st start builds up 75 lbs and wont restart
Check the reset button on the motor to see if it tripped. The motor may be overheating. Some motors have an internal breaker and they have to cool off before they restart. Also check the pressure switch. Move the switch back and forth ( on and off ) and listen for a click. If it doesn't click with low to no air pressure then the switch is bad.
SOURCE: ruud heat pump initial startup,both guages shoot to over 300 lbs
Brand new install...did you open the refrigerant lines to release the refrigerant?
Pressure relief valve is sticking. Shoot it with some PB Blaster.

Hi mjschulte815
Here are a few things to check, you may have already checked some of these.
Electricity...Compressors will run best with full 115Vot 15AMP/Or 220V electrical supply from a circuit, over the shortest electrical cord as possible.
Air Leaks..Place your ear close to the compressor and listen for air leaking, if you hear air that is not normal and means you have to locate and repair whatever it is that is leaking.
Check the air unloader valve... The air unloader valve will blown out air when you turned off the compressor, that is normal.
But it should not have air leaking out of it all of the time. If so then it is faulty and in need of repair/replacement.
Valves...If either the intake or exaust valves fail, breaks, or fails to seat, then your compressor will run 24 hours a day and never build up to the correct pressure for shut-off.
Gaskets...Check to see if your gaskets have failed.
You could have a gasket failure between the pistons and you will never know it because it shows no external air leak.
If this situation happens then the air will only cycle between cylinders and never build up the correct air pressure.
One way to check the gasket is remove the air filter, then put your hand over the intake.

If correct then it will **** you hand against the intake.
If the valve or valves have failed then you will feel the air sucking in and blowing out.
Piston Rings and Cylinder...The piston rings could be stuck,broken, or worn and not allowing the correct pressure to build up in your tank.
A worn cylinder will also contribute to the problem of pressure build-up.
Pressure Switch...Check for air leaks at the pressure switch, it has a rubber diaphram that can fail and leak air out of the system.

SOURCE: Line from head to tank(copper) gets extremely hot and comp trips out usually around 40 to 60 lbs
It depends on what you connect the compressor, gfci or receptacle , or the run of the wire to the panel box ( long )
As you start to progress and shoot for longer distances, you will probably want to use 38-40 lbs. or even 40-50 lbs. bow weights, but it is important to not get a bow that is too heavy so you could truly manage the technique.
