I have a atlas air compressor Xas 185 jd7 that starts up but once I let go of the crank position and it goes in to the run position it turns off won’t stay on?

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.
I have a xas 185 HD will a relay stop it from running
Yes. See attached – yours should be substantially the same.
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
The fact that it starts right back up suggests the start/run switch may be flaking out. Before replacing it, take a look at the wires and connector – could be loose or corroded. After that, things get really tedious, short of replacing all the electrical, and there’s no guarantee that would fix it.
All that given this does not have an electronic controller. Maybe you could post a pic or three of it if it does.
i have the same compressor and when the top light comes on it shuts the machine off.. and blows oil out of the air lines,,, any ideas!!!
Sparse info there, but oil out the lines is ordinarily a separator problem. You probably want to check the element and the scavenger line. I daresay the element is soaked.
I’m having the same trouble with my atlas Copco 185JD7 replaced oil temp switch replaced the oil switch temperature switch and I’m still getting the same thing engine cutting off
Robert, sorry, but there a couple different problems up there, and below. You say you replaced the low oil level switch along with the temperature switch? And it cuts off exactly when? and how – like you switched it off?
No other indication/abnormality?
Thanks.
Did you ever figure out the problem ,I am having same issue starts right up but when I let go of switch stalls thank’s for any input
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.
That gauge is direct, can you replace or test it? Otherwise, sounds like: 10. Compressor does not unload and engine keeps running at maximum speed when closing the air outlet valves; safety valve blows. a. Air leaks in regulating system. … Check and repair. b. Regulating valve (RV) incorrectly set or defective…. Adjust or repair regulating valve; see section Adjustment of the continuous regulating system c.
