M52A1 air compressor governor slow release

[jamboly]

The air compressor governor (MS53006-1) on my M52A1 has a real slow release of air when it gets up to pressure. Is his normal (should it be a fast release)? Can these governors be taken apart and cleaned without messing something up? Any info on how they work would also help.

yes can be taken apart and degumed, or buy a new one from any truck parts house, once installed, set the air pressure as needed, this will need to be done no matter if new or just cleaned up

How slow is slow????? Should be a pop of air. They are also known to crap out with a fast clicking rate and it may happen erractically every now and again until it craps out completely.

Are there any direct replacements available? I can't seem to be able to cross reference the number to anything.

It is not a pop of air. The air bleeds off for about 10-15 seconds.

In regards to the clicking, does the clicking normally stop when it comes up to max pressure? (I have this clicking on my M920.)

I found a web site that does a good job of explaining how the governor works.
