Compressor Oil Temp Switch Under Compressor Pump
by: Gary Pearson

Your compressor oil temperature switch is bad. Take the two wires off and put them together and engine should start. Order another switch you do not want to run it long without it connected in case the compressor oil is getting too hot.

Ours was doing this and it ended up being the low fuel cutoff switch on tank. On ours all the switches have to be closed(Jumper wire both plugs on switches to test) in order for it to run. If you jumper all the plugs from switches and it runs. Start by plugging the switches back in one at a time to see which one is bad.

I have a xas 185 with the John Deere engine. It seems to run fine and blow great air but it all the sudden just shuts off. It starts right back up and will run for a while and then shuts down again. It doens’t matter if there is a load on it or not. Some days it will run for hours and nothing happens and then some days it will shut down 4-5 times in an hour. Any idea? Thanks much

I have a xas 97 185 cfm tow behind. It starts and runs good but no pressure registers on operator’s gage and the engine will not slow down when air valves are closed, but blows out the relief valve. What do I need to do.
