i ran a "newer" model on 80 psi repeatedly for some time... then it started to sound like a large cammed 4 stroke, and then it pushed the plastic rod through the top of the plastic piston!. p.s. do not use super glue to fix the internal damage. eye protection is a must. be careful.
I played with a lot of those toys as a kid and grew up to build real engines. Rebuild entire cars for that matter. If a toy had more than two parts I had to take it apart and put it back together! I tried running mine on an air compressor but it ran so fas that it jammed the little valve that the cam moves and never worked again. Onto the next toy....
Done the same thing with ours but used a small aeroplane prop for the fly wheel
