i have an older sears 100 psi air compressor. Everything works fine except when it gets to 100 psi, the prv value releases and the compressor continues to run. What mechanism is it that turns off the compressor? Thanks

Have a look at pressure switches and it sounds to me like you need a new one, right away!
