Yes. I have done a full leak check. I did have a few leaks, but they are now gone and when I filmed there were none. The thing that makes me think it is not a leak is the fact that if I shut the compressor off it stops squealing. It does blow off some pressure when I turn it off, but I am wondering if it is more than a leak.

Thanks for the compliments. The reason it looks so good is because of all the soap tests I have done on it. That has washed away all the grime.

I think I may buy a automotive stethescope and see if I can isolate the sounds.

Please let me know if you have any other ideas.

Have you adjusted your regulator (increase the outlet PSI)? I noticed in the video that it was at 0 PSI. I'm wondering if the rubber diaphragm in the regulator is squealing.

I tried running it without the regulator and it did not make the sound. So i bought a new regulator and it made the sound with the new one too. After I adjusted it a few times it stopped. I wonder if it is just the regulator breaking in. It runs quietly now, but I have another problem. It will not shut off when it reaches its high pressure limit. It has a new pressure switch on it from you guys. When are they supposed to stop? When it hit 140 I shut it down. When I turned it back on it did not run until I bled off some the air. What do you think?

The problem with the unit not shutting off at max PSI would be related to the Pressure Switch, odd that would be occurring with a new Pressure Switch.

What is the Part# of the pressure switch you ordered? I want to make sure it's rated for a higher pressure than you need. The part# will probably start with a "CW" and look something like "CW212400AV".

This will greatly help me out.

Here is a pic of the part I received from guys. They said it was the right one.

Unfortunately the info on the cover of the switch doesn't tell me a whole lot. Can you see the part# starting with "CW"? This should be inside of the switch or possibly on the manifold. It will have 6 digits after the "CW".
