IT WORKS, SETTING, GAUGE IS FINE BUT IT WOULD NOT GO FARTHER THAN 60 PSI AND AS SOON AS I SHUT IT OFF IT LOSSES ALL THE AIR INSIDE AND THE WAY IT SOUND IT IS LEAKING AIR. SOMBODY TOLD ME I HAVE TO CHANGE THE GASKET BUT I DO NOT KNOW WICH GASKET I SHOUD CHANGE.
THANKS.

Max, hi. From the sound of it, I don't think it's a gasket that's your problem. I think it's your check valve.

Folks commonly think of as a pressure switch problem, but it turns out to be the check valve on your compressor. Read the pages on this site about pressure switches and check valves for more info.

Cheers,
