[AT] Help with Ingersoll compressor

[Cecil Bearden]

I need some help with the Gyro Flo Vane compressor I bought last week to 
sandblast and clean out my old baler.  I thought one of you guys had 
some experience with these..  The pressure is too high and it is bowing 
the relief valve.  It runs as high as 185-190 psi. Ingersoll Gyro Flo 
was bought by Doosan in NC in 2007..    A lot of information is just non 
existent and none of the "experts online" can give any real help.   Most 
of these online "experts just say that the unit is not worth repairing 
and to buy a new one.    I could not even afford a 10 year old one with 
1/2 the output of this one!!!    There is just no diagnosis ability 
anymore.   The mechanics that are coming out of the trade schools have 
no idea how to repair anything.  They just change parts.   The 
manufacturers don't give out service literature anymore, they get a 
fortune for it, so ther is not a lot floating around out there.  I blame 
a lot of this B.S. on plain old GREED, and the other on not having high 
school shop classes anymore.

On another note, we now have to pay for all those "smart" innovations on 
the new cars and trucks due to the new drivers not paying attention to 
their driving, their smartphone needs to be looked at 59 minutes an 
hour.  Maybe just maybe if we put Drivers education back in the high 
schools, the new drivers would have some idea how to safely drive...   
If someone was not paying attention back when we were driving in H.S. 
the "coach" would stomp on the brake ( in a safe area) and your nose 
would hit the steering wheel!!  He then would tell the driver and the 
rest of the passengers what would have happened if the driver had 
continued...

Now they drive like they are playing a video game....

Rant off...   I am just so frustrated with trying to get an operating 
compressor so I can go back to work.   The Sullair and the Leroi both 
need that blasted Ford 140 OHC engine overhauled.
My problem now is I don't have budget, help, time, and physical ability 
to get things done now...
