    Default Air Compressor won't go past 60

    I had adjusted the air pressure to 70 psi this morning to match my air gun 70 psi to 110 psi.
    A few shots and decided to move to 110 psi.
    As instructed moved the pressure dial to 0 psi.
    Then headed back up to 110 psi.
    But now, the pressure will NOT move above 60 psi.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    No air leaks I can hear.
    It did turn on and pressurize this morning.
    Thanks,
    Barry G. Sumpter

    Diaphragm in regulator is stuck most likely, try tapping it gently.

    Oh man!
    Was kicking it multiple times.

    Decided to empty the tank.
    Started up in me ear.
    And went straight to 90 psi.

    Wondering is there a way to set the minimum psi before it kicks in?
    Thanks,

    Yes, take the black cover off the pressure switch,and you’ll see a 10 mm bolt head, with quite possibly a plus and minus arrow in each direction, adjust that to suit your desired kick in pressure.

    Yes! Well done gents.
    Much appreciated!

    Doesn't seem to want to go above 90 psi.
