what makes you think it "blew up"? Did it go BOOM or did it stop working or is it a motor issue? Explain more it may be something easy to fix.

Without looking, it sounds like your unloader failed to bypass or stuck closed...  Your pressure gauge acted like a pressure relief valve.  Take the unloader off and see if it runs. That PG may have saved your bacon.

The ceramic piston slammed into the head and shattered. so Landa bypassed the pw.That night
I took it to do a job. 10mn into job the coil blew out. I was upset but it was a 1988 model.
I got a spray mart 300deg 3000psi at 5.5gpm for $700 used out of Fla. on the way.

That sucks.  Don't trash it.  For another $800 you can get that puppy rolling again and have two!
