Does any one have this issue? I got this kit, but after a while the compressor wont stop running when set psi reached. Been using for a couple months.

No but the issue is with the regulator. Turn it to a low pressure then to a high pressure. If the compressor still keeps running your regulator is bad.

I have never had that problem, but they must be kept clean. Perhaps it's time to buy a new compressor.

The compressor runs good but paint does splatter a little I bought a quick release with pressure adjuster for $2 , but could also be paint clogging , gonna try thinning paint or filtering it with like some kinda pantyhose material

Replace the compressor as well. If it was still good it would come on when you start the vehicle. It most likely burned out because the shocks were leaking.

I had to replace the compressor. If you have a leak it will continue to pump until it wears out.

I'm not a mechanic but my compressor burned out after my shock leaked.I had 2 mechanics say replace both. Mines been running nice for last 3 months.

One of your pumping pistons isn't re-extending for the next pump and so it's only pumping at half pressure. That's how mine died, I haven't figure out a fix yet.

my compressor stopped working also. However, since it was fully charged I did not attempt to charge it and considered it dead and purchased another since the warranty had expired. Will never purchase another Peak ever!!!!

I am thinking my husband used his compressor. We have only used it once so far.

Make sure it is hooked up correctly (with little hose inside jar coming from the attachment end, not the gun end) and keep the gun level. If you problem is it continually sucking once full press the little pressure release lever until the gauge registers 0 psi vacuum.

Is yours leaking any fluids by chance? Mine started to shoot just puffs of air 90% of the time and I noticed that it had oil / grease leaking from the black plastic bit just above where the connection is on the gun. Only used it 2x, no jams, never used higher than 100 psi etc. In the process of sending it back and getting a porter-cable.

Just for that kind of test (overnight air leak), I have had mine pumped up to pressure since I received it. It has probably bled off a couple pounds a WEEK as per the mounted included gauge. Your overnight air loss is usually attributed to having the air hose connected to the outlet port on the compressor and having a accessory attached to the air hose,,,then the unit WILL leak air overnight,,as with most if not all compressors in that configuration. When not in use, remove the air hose from the compressor quick connect outlet port.

Hmmm.. Did you know this compressor is sold all over the internet? Many different brand names but the same compressor. I just bought mine so I can't confirm the complaints, but it seems to me that there is a tank associated with this one. It's supposed to cut off after the pressure reaches the limit that is set. If you don't know anything about compressors, you should really read up on them before operating.

This will do it, although you will have to do it in stages, otherwise you run a real risk of burning the compressor out. Something they don't really make clear is that when you first get it, run it for a half hour or so with no back pressure to enable the rings to seat. I didn't and paid the price. The next one I did and it is running fine.

In testing it, I set the regulated pressure to 80PSI. I don't know if this has any affect on the point at which it starts back up. But, it restarted at about 168PSI.

I run it with a regular compressor. But you might want a holding tank if you are going to use it alot. Its pretty taxing on the smaller compressors.
