Problem with compressor

[Nick R.]

we cant get the compressor to get over 10psi the spike controlling it seems to stop(orange light) when it goes up to 10psi and it makes a sound of gears tearing(plus we can see the fan is not spinning)
i dont know what to do.. i even pluged a direct connection from the compressor to a single resevoir with a presure gauge but it does the same

I suggetst you go talk to Mark Breadner. Maybe you can get a new compressor from him

I've heard this is a symptom of running reverse power to the compressor *yikes*

We ran reverse power to the pump and all it didn't do anything didn't even turn on....of course i immediately killed the power when i realized what we had done.
