Craftsman 919.167802 Safety Valve opening

Hi Bill,
I have a Craftsman compressor #919.167802. When I start the compressor, everything works fine until the pressure starts to build. At around 70-80 psi, the safety valve on the intercooler tube starts releasing. As the pressure builds to around 90 psi, it's pretty much open and releasing the pressure so air won't build much over 90 psi. I have replaced the safety valve, but the new one does the same thing. Any suggestions on the cause of this??
Thanks much
Scott
