Default Re: Gorden Smith compressor air pressors

I would have to look at the head I have off, if I remember correctly the combustion chamber looks "B"
For sandblasting it run about 45 psi, I regulate the pressure with governor speed to match diameter of nozzle
When it was running a jackhammer I would crank up the governor never measured rpm, suspect around 1800-2200, pressure regulator would kick unloaders about 125
