Why is my Ingersoll-Rand Drill losing power?

  If your Ingersoll-Rand Drill loses power, first check the air supply to ensure it's at 90 psig (6.2 bar/620 kPa) at the inlet for optimal performance. Also, the issue might be due to a plugged air strainer or inlet screen; clean it with a suitable cleaning solution, or replace it if cleaning isn't effective. A clogged muffler or exhaust silencer can also cause power loss; clean the muffler element or replace it if necessary. Other potential causes include worn or broken vanes (replace the set), a damaged rear end plate gasket (install a new one), a worn or broken cylinder (replace if cracked or scored), or improper lubrication/dirt buildup (clean and lubricate the motor unit parts as instructed).

  If the gear case of your Ingersoll-Rand Drill gets hot, it could be due to excessive grease. Clean and inspect the gear case and gearing parts, then lubricate as instructed. Alternatively, worn or damaged parts may be the cause. In this case, clean and inspect the gear case and gearing, replacing any worn or broken components.

What to do if the throttle valve on my Ingersoll-Rand Drill is leaky?

  Charlene SchroederAug 17, 2025
  If the throttle valve on your Ingersoll-Rand Drill is leaky, it could be due to a worn throttle valve or throttle valve seat. Install a new throttle valve and/or a throttle valve seat. Another possible cause is dirt accumulation on the throttle valve or seat. To resolve this, pour about 3cc of a clean, suitable cleaning solution into the air inlet and operate the tool for about 30 seconds. Then, immediately pour 3cc of the recommended oil into the air inlet and operate the tool for 30 seconds to lubricate all the cleaned parts.
