Another compressor problem

[John]

John,

The problem could also be the governor itself on the compressor,
which is an inexpensive fix, try tapping on it with a hammer,
sometimes they get a little moisture in there that in cold weather
freezes, or in my case it was rust, so I just changed it.

Make sure if you change it, to install a new one as they are only a
few more dollars than a remanufactured governor. Check out this page
on my web site for more information and the location of the governor
itself on an FC model 'Bird.
