Have you tried defrosting it? lol Seriously though, the meat and potato's of that pump is the mechanism in the middle of the pump. (Black box area). Try shooting some wd -40 into the inlet side of the line. It's probably just stuck. If not the replacement part for the whole piece is only about $30.00

Sounds like a frozen (stuck) air valve to me, like Larry said.

Let me tell you those ALL-Flo pumps are indetructible, I was so pizzed off when my stuff was frozen up that I even beat the pump with a big wrench, I figured it was ruined any way, and I had a brand new one sitting on the shelf, the one that I won, ha ha

I think the rigids are around 9-10 cfm with about 8 gallon tanks. What I'm looking at is 17.5 cfm with a 60 gallon tank,  BIG & Cheap.

That's what you want guys, a BIG Azz air compressor. Honestly, the Rigid's are marginal for any pump 1/2 or larger.  Yes, I ran the 1/2 Yamada with a Rigid for years, but until I accidentally used a larger compressor, did not know what I was missing.

Stalling is MUCH less of a problem as well, now that we have a big compressor.

I run a 1 inch Wilden Hastelloy/Teflon pump with a 13hp Compressor, and it has NEVER ever stalled, ever.

Just got to know where to look. biggrin

What I'm buying is a gov't surplus Teledyne 2 stage air compressor & 60 gal tank. It is powered by a Teledyne 4 cylinder gas engine that develops 18 HP at 3600 RPM.. Electric start (24 volt). It produces 17.5 cfm at 175 psi. Runs smooth, no smoke, and pumps like crazy. All for a crazy price of $550.00. 25 miles from home so I'll pick it up next week.

Gary
