greetings divers, i have a vintage bauer with a plate on the block, it reads cable mako 2.5 cfm 32oo psi. mo. fa 13 e rpm 930 i have filled about 10 80s at 2500 psi. then the problem. the 2 nd stage is getting too hot to touch and the 3 rd stage is cool mabe too cool.the pressure is taking longer to build up. I removed 2 and 3 heads to examine the valves but without a manuel to refer too im just looking for the obvious.I Retorqued the heads to utilus specs. The problem is still there.This machine was on a n old sailboat and belt driven of the maine engine.I am using a 220 motor 2.5 h.p. I turns it at 950 comp. r.p.m. Is this a canidiate for the smithsonian or are there parts avaiable.In the filter is a stainless carthridge about 6 in. x 1 in. filled with charcoal. I renewed the charcoal and the air tastes smells ok and no evidence of oil on a white cloth.I know this is long winded for my 1st time on the forum but hey. any info greatly appreciated. James.
