I will get a SHORT burst of air from here when it shuts down. This is the connection from the #19 check valve

That is where the the compressor vents when the pilot shifts to idle. If you pull the line from the check valve it should unload the compressor and not stall the engine when it shifts to idle.

So I took the line off from #19 check valve. I get a constant flow of air from that fitting, but it'd above the check valve from the main tube from the compressor.
I idled it down manually and it still died.

If the compressor is being vented when engine goes to idle maybe the engine idle speed too low possibly? There shouldn't be much load from the compressor at idle if it is being vented. Not sure what's going on.

Yeah I tried raising the idle, no bueno.

I chucked that demon possessed POS in the scrap pile this evening. It's not worth for what else I could be fixing with my spare time. Thanks for all the suggestions.
