Existing Sullivan Palatek Air Compressors questions:
What oil for a Sullivan 185 compressor – What type of oil?? Mechanic say turbine oil. What is that??? Help
I hope someone here can help us out. I have an older model Sullivan D-185-Q6JDB. It overheats while under load and shuts down. This started in March. 40-60 degree weather. Our distributor is at a loss. They swapped out the oil separator (said it was leaking and getting some oil on the belts). Replaced a recently re-manufactured radiator with a new OEM. Replaced the thermostat. Dismantled the water pump and inspected it. It’s OK. Removed the heads to inspect for any flow blockage. They found none.
Any ideas?

I take it from context that it’s the engine overheating? Is it pumping air as expected until it shuts down, or is the engine sounding a bit gutless?
Or is it the airend causing shutdown?
And how long does it run before the shutdown?
Why what causes it to overheat?
What’s the model number, please?
And how do know it’s overheating? I.E., what indication(s) of overheating do you have?
