This problem usually occurs when the in-tank check valve is leaking air back to the pump and the unloader is not working properly. Follow air discharge line from the compressor to the tank. This line is attached to the check valve (usually brass or chrome). A second smaller line also attaches to the checkvalve and leads to the pressure switch (unloader valve). After filling and shut off, you should hear a discharge of air at the pressure switch. If not, examine valve for possible mis-alignment with contact arm. If air continues to leak from the unloader valve, then checkvalve is leaking. Use universal replacement check valve if possible, check thread size. Parts are on ebay or www.toolpartsdirect.com. Good luck

John Deere 310E backhoe stalls soon after startup.

indicates air in the pump
very slow leak to allow pump pressure to drop to a point where it starts but then the supply is below requirement until the continued cranking removes the air and then the engine starts and runs

Miller Legend welder. Onan engine starts and runs a few minutes then dies. Why won't it restart for 5 minutes?

Some engines have a low oil cutoff switch. If the oil level drops to a certain point it kills the engine. Your oil level may be close enough that after starting and running for a little bit the level drops enough to kill the motor. After sitting for awhile the level rises enough to allow the engine to run again check the level and add oil if necessary.
Hope this helps.

Wagner electric asincronous H 100L4 1982 motor MK-250. Compressor will start, get up to pressure okay, but once pressure drops it will stall on restart and trip out mains.

The overload trip is is not rated high enough for the load. When the compressor starts form zero pressure their is little load on the motor. It then pumps ok to the cutout pressure under gradually increasing load. When it tries to start on the intermediate pressure the load is too great as the motor drawers a higher current on start-up and has the additional load of the higher pressure. You have a 15 amp appliance running on a 10 amp circuit or similar depending on your countries supply voltage.

Initially starts fine, runs fine, then stalls at the first stop.

This is a fuel pump issue. i would replace it and the lines as well.also, a minor tune up wouldn't hurt as well. wires plugs distributor cap points etc...

COLMAN TSR

3000 Watts is a little short on the power necessary for the compressor to restart. When it compressor starts it may draw 27 amps or more for a split second. 3000 / 120 = 25 amps. when the fan slows down it is telling you the voltage has dropped and it doesn't have enough power. After the pressure has balanced out in the A/C system the compressor can start against no pressure difference.
