    Default Porter Cable pancake compressor problem

    My pancake compressor will only go up to 80 psi. It used to go to 150. Any idea what part to replace to fix problem. Bob

    Is the compressor stopping when it reaches 80 PSI or is it just continuously running and won't go past 80? If it's continuously running you might want to look at getting a new piston and ring kit to improve compression. After a while those oil-free compressors will need to have new rings installed. You also may have an air leak.
