I inspected the reeds and clean what little dirt was on them and re installed, here are a couple pixs with the heads off and new gaskets and o-rings installed.
Pic may not be exact one, but shows 6 little reed valves. Air is sucked in past them, but when compressed it seals & blows through a single valve.
Other side looks like:

So Michael --- it it builds to 50 psi and shuts off -- sounds like either your motor is overheating and you're getting a thermal shut off --- OR your pressure regulator is acting up. I don't know how you'd test that.

My compressor also runs non stop ... just makes 50 psi and no more! There is air being sucked into the intake, ie. no blow by or restriction.
Greg .... how do I tackle this problem? Can the shut off switch be bad if the motor continues to run, don't make no sense!
Thanks for helping .... I need my compressor up and running!
