I don't have any personal experience with that compressor, however I don't think that a loud pop would be normal. If it is new you could write to Testors about the problem. It has a 2 year warranty.

You also might contact Sparmax as they manufacture the compressor and put the Azteck name on it.
It it is a used compressor I think you just found out why the seller got rid of it.

The air compressor makes a horribly loud pressurized air burst once it auto stops & does it every time. ~It keeps scaring the crap out of me as I forget about it as I'm drawn into my work. Can someone tell me what possibly could be the problem or I'll just have to keep changing my pants...
I can't find any information on it anywhere.
I don't know if it make difference but, the guy who mailed it stuck the message "This Way Up" the wrong way up on the package and I guess it's been jolted upside down for the last 2 days and as a result it leak some oil. Though the Oil is still at the right height, on the indicator.
Thanks.
