    Air Compressor Bogs on startup..

    Same belt, no grooves or wear evident, no squealing or odd noises. Like I stated, runs right up to speed unloaded. Ran a brush through it and cleaned it out.... I forgot to mention. I pulled the un-loader tube off once it shut off and no air was leaking by.... T,

    Air Compressor Bogs on startup..

    Yes, rotates smoothly. Can feel resistance and also hear air escape when turning. I pulled the copper pipe off the discharge side when I did this, thinking the same thing as you....doesn't bind or make any weird noises. Runs just as quiet as always has with everything connect and motor...
