    okay did as instructed high cut out set to 110lbs psi. first adjustment dropped to 25lbs psi. second adjustment dropped to 25lbs psi. It looks like the hex nut might be a locking nut for the cut out. would the differential adjustment be in the cylinder head? would you recommend i replace...

    okay the big hex nut goes up and down, but the tread is only maybe a 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch. When i dismantled the genie the was a rubber gasket that, the brass set spring sat up on top of. Is this normal? The very top nut has a bleed hole for air release.

    okay ive finally got the genie set to 110 lbs psi, you hear the compressor note change and it does not pressurize. You can hear the air escaping throw, the air cleaner, the pressure drops to about 25lbs psi before the compressor kicks in again. My question is this normal? Should it drop that far?

    okay will give it a try in the morning, so what is the function of the load genie in relation to the compressor? Sorry about all the questions, worked on cars and trucks for 20 plus years, this is uncharted territory for me.

    vintage air compressor

    Okay my concern, is its safe to run? I don't see an air compressor pressure switch. to turn it off when it reaches pressure. It has a safety mechanical valve that releases the pressure from the rear of the tank. that's all i can see. Do i have to manually charge it to 115 lbs psi, then shut...

    Thank you for your help, can you tell me if i am right to think.......if its a 2 stage, constant run compressor? And what is the difference between a constant run compressor and a compressor with a pump pressure switch? Sorry about all the questions this is all new to me.
