r/AirCompression

Sorry if this is not posted in the right place, will remove if necessary. Been running this Quincy for about 3.5yrs pretty consistently and it’s been keeping up. A week or 2 ago, the noise started to get a little louder so I changed the oil and checked everything I could outside of it to make sure nothing had come loose and could not find anything of concern. While using my blast cabinet earlier, the noise made a very sudden and erratic change to this and I’m not quite sure how to go about this. I’m assuming it’s something inside the motor but I am hesitant to pull it apart as it is currently the only air source in my shop . If anyone has some advice, I’d appreciate it!

I found a 3 gallon Campbell Hausfeld air compressor in my garage. I don’t know how old it is, but I went to use it and realized I have no idea how long it should take to build pressure. It seems slow to me, but I don’t know what the normal rate is? I’d say it takes a minute to get to 20PSI, then even slower going from there. This is with the regulator blocking all air flow to the hose.

The model number is FP2090.

Wiring issue? Or is the control unit faulty? It also seems to take longer before it allows the compressor to start up. Please advise.
