doe70 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 gday, i havnt had any problems with it as yet but wondering what the desired compression ratio is on b model, after starting - takes one minute to build to 30psi, then second minute is at 60psi and after 3 mins is about 88-92psi. is this about right or maybe a tad slow? thought id seen the build up rate somewhere, wondering if needed to think of new comp down the track.cheers ellis Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/16826-is-compressor-working-ok/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearbox Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Hi Ellis, Are you getting any oil in your air tanks, it does sound slow but the govneror may be playing up, holding the unloader valve open or the unloader maybe leaking Gearbox Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/16826-is-compressor-working-ok/#findComment-68831 Share on other sites More sharing options...
