Hi All,
I'm going through my compressors atm and have the following question.
The little Bambi 75/150 silent jobby won't re-start once up to pressure. It looks like it tries but I think the control unit backs it off if it doesn't.
From memory I *think* it's better if not on a long lead but I'm sure that shouldn't matter as it's only a small wattage compressor.
Now I'm not sure what's *supposed* to happen on *this* compressor (it's been a while since I last used it) but when it's reached pressure it shuts off ok but with no "pschtt" like the other two do AND when it does shut off the air leaks back very slowly and I think it sounds like it's coming back into the compressor pump (it's all sealed so I can't be sure).
So, if it's supposed to have a pump pressure release valve (and I'm wondering if it is as that would stop it being 'silent') I wonder if it's stuck / leaking and if so, is it something that could be cleaned / serviced (by me) do you know please?
It's similar to this:
