     Replace the spring and ball with a manual valve - open to start,   
   shut to run.   
   -----------------------   
   Good idea, it frees both hands. Hardware store pipe fittings may not be   
   rated for the working pressure.   
      
   I made a cam handle replacement for a pull-ring pressure relief valve on my   
   portable air compressor to reduce the starting current so it could run from   
   a 3KW generator. Open valve to start, close to build pressure. During storm   
   power outages is when I most need air to clean out the carburetors of rarely   
   used equipment.
