IS this a 175 psi unit. What was the safety valve psi that was replaced. I recommend removing the heads and checking the valves. Suspect you will find one of them bad.If safety is past the hp head remove and check hp valves first. If safety is after lp head check it first. I have seen and lp valve break and pieces carry over to the hp side. So if lp valve bad you may want to inspect the hp side also. Good luck!

Quincy air compressor keeps poping safety valve on head model430

I don't find that model in my database but if the safety valve is popping it is one of only a few issues:
1) The safety valve is weak or defective - run the compressor and watch the pressure gauge and see when it releases. Most compressors cycle on at around 90psi and off at around 120psi - the relief valve is usually set at 130-140psi. If it releases before 130psi I would replace the safety valve.
If it blows off above 130psi...
2) The pressure switch is defective if the unit doesn't shut down at it's labeled pressure (most are 120-125psi)
If it runs beyond the labeled pressure and blows off then replace the pressure switch.
3) If the unit has a pilot valve instead of a pressure switch and the unit builds up past the labeled pressure then you can follow these instructions to adjust https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CZ9Hznh6EI

My D55141 heavy duty 2gal (7.6L) 150 psi max builds pressure up to around 150 releases pop off valve then keeps running, what causes this problem?

The pressure switch is either out of adjustment or has failed. The compressor should shut off at a much lower pressure than the safety valve (~100 psi)

Air pressure iI gone but motor works haappened all

As I understand it, your air compressor motor runs but you can not build pressure. Is this correct?

Two main reasons:

#1: Your safety valve popped and the air is going straight out the safety valve. You should be hearing a loud hissing noise if this is the case. Press the safety valve back in and you should build pressure. Many such valves have a ring on them (to help you find them). It should be very near the pressure switch.

#2: You have a broken reed valve. A reed valve opens or closes based on the pressure it is under. It allows air to enter the tank on the compression stroke, but will not let it out of the tank as the piston strokes up and down. If it is broken or stuck open, you cannot build pressure.

and #3, a after thought, no extra charge ;-) The rings on the piston may have broken.

For #2 and #3, it will be necessary for you to remove the head to inspect.

Find repair parts at the Coleman web site.

I hope this helps you solve your trouble.

Good day I when I start up the unit there is no pressure the motor runs to create pressure, but nothing coming out, after about 20 seconds there is shooting hot water out from the small release black...

The small black valve is a thermal relief valve. It opens when the water gets up to about 145 degrees. If it is heating up that much in 20 seconds, you probably have a bearing issue.

Blows the relief valve

If you have the manual, check the compressor and normal pressure settings and ratings - 145 psi sounds high and unless you are using huge air tools. You may not need that kind of pressure. It sounds like the relief valve and motor overload are both doing their jobs to protect the system.
