Yong Heng compressor does not build pressure

Things that would make your burst disc blow

1- A restriction in your output hose or one of the fittings.

2- The purge valve has been over-tightened and the plastic washer beneath it crushed.

Low or no air volume problem, with or without pressure, usually a leak although it could be either of the above two problems as well. I have ordered these in the most likely to happen order.

1- Leak at the foster fitting o-rings.

2- Leak at the filter o-ring or dowty seal.

3- Leak at the top of the second stage head fitting dowty seal under the fitting.

4- Leak at the stainless high pressure line seal, top of the head.

5- Leak at the high pressure line at the block near the check valve. Could be the line or the Dowty seal under the fitting.

6- Leak at the check valve

7- Leak at the o-ring for the second stage head cylinder to head connection.

8- Rings on second stage piston are leaking.

My number two Yong Heng quit building pressure within two months of my receipt of it. I found the second stage piston in pieces when I tore it down. Poor QC someone did not put the locktight on the top part of the piston, which is threaded on, so it unscrewed and destroyed itself. A $12 part and an hours worth of werq and it was good as new. You have to expect his kind of thing from anything made in China.






 
The bleed screw end can get tarnished. Polish it with an emery cloth for a better seal. That's what was up with my 12V. (now dead)

I got 3 months out of the portable 12V compressor, 9 months out of my $1400 Benjamin Re-charge, gone through many Yong Hengs...so my air cost me an average of $100 per month since I started this hobby 3 years ago....and that's for real.
