MrsS Diamond Enthusiast Site Administrator	Posted Hide Post You probably have an air leak. Mix a tablespoon or so of dish soap with a cup of water in a spray bottle. Spray it on the air line and the valves, coat them well, get them good and wet. While it's still wet, start your compressor and look for bubbles- this will tell you where it's leaking air.

Walks On Water Platinum Enthusiast	Posted Hide Post Can you give me the model and seral numbers off the unit? Also, how old is it? I ask that as I had one and found that the oil less air compressor are through-a-way units. While you can get parts for them, you will find by time you buy some of the parts, you would have been better off buying a new one.
