Problem with my Paasche D-500 compressor

Got a quickie I hope someone can help me with…Tonight while using my compressor it started bogging then died altogether. It was set to 25psi at the time. I pull the backplate and rotate the plunger a couple of times it cranks back up. Now, when I reapply the hose again with brush, slow bog then quit. If I put the hose and airbrush on, then open the moisture trap, I can get it to pump at 10psi, if I close the moisture trap anymore for higher psi (anything above 10psi), then it quits again. Scratching my head over this one, anyone got a suggestion? [B)]

Yes. Buy a new compressor. [:D] [;)]
Those diaphragm compressors don’t last long and they die from overheating usually.
I am not real familiar with them so I don’t know what to tell you. Sorry I couldn’t be of help. [:(]

LOL…I hope I dont have to buy another yet, its only a year old. Hopefully the Paasche ppl can point me in the right direction or repair/replace this one.

hey mike, my diaphram has lasted since i was 5, its never overheated, and it still works great.

You are lucky Ryan. [;)]
