    Exactly what I’m thinking to be honest. I’ll have to get these 3 Illinois runs behind me then do some more testing. Think I’ll take the compressor line off the dryer, install a gauge and ball valve at the end and start choking it off to see what pressure it will build up to….

    Yes brand new governor, I have intended to adjust it a little bit since it kicks out at just over 100 psi….

    Believe it or not they bought one from Lowe's but it would quit running after 1-2 minutes. They had to return it for a refund because they were out of stock.
