Start-up of porter-cable CPF23400S / Oil less

[Windowman19]

Our compressor Lumbers on Initial start up. If Pressure is relieved, it will start & Run, but its drawing too much & blows house breaker. proper cords & lengths are used. Should We R & R Start Cap. K-0196? Thanks for any Advice.

Hey Windowman19,
You may have a bad check valve that is letting air back out of the tank into the head causing it to load up..an easy way to check this is to loosen the nut on the check valve after the tank is full or has some pressure in it to see if it leaks.[.it shouldn't leak at all after the air compressor is full and not running..]you may also have a problem with your valve plate assy causing issues, make sure your air filter is clear also..sometimes the bolts on the motor become loose and causes a rotor shift or bind on start up..! as far as the capacitor it usually is ok and if it does fail the air compressor will just hum at not start at all..
hope this has been helpful..
