Yep that's a problem! You should be able to purchase good quality air hose from any good hardware or tool store. I find the coil hoses to be more of a pain than they are worth (always tangling up on itself). I use straight hose now of high quality.

There are two reasons for this, 1st water is staying in the tank too long and should be drained more often and 2nd is what no one wants to here, the unit may be passing oil by the rings. We know everything starts to wear out. My suggestion to fix this problem is to install an oil water separator and capture the liquid that comes from the bottom of the tank. The oil will separate from the water and allow water to go to the ground while capturing the oil.

take the power surply cover off and look down the side on the butten at the contacts, id say it isnot the pressur switch itself, and make sure all bolts are tight and check the reeds

Hi, I suspect the plunger for the valve stem connector on the pressure head is not depressing the air release pin in the head of the valve stem.

I have a Black and Decker and have to use a valve stem seat removal tool to quicky unscrew about 3 to 4 turns the stem seal and then connect the air hose head. After the tire reaches the correct air pressure I have go thru the tighten the valve stem seat drill.

You can buy the vavle stem seat tool at any auto parts store. I keep mine with the compressor.

I don't want this to sound bad but... is the air hose supply vavle turned on? Some have a slider button on the valve you have to push to charge the hose. If the hose is charged then see above.

Thanks for using FixYa.

try pulling up on the cap then turn

the gun has a long case under the hand grip at the end there is a lever you must lift up on it. slide it open place nails inside close it and your ready.

I don't believe there is a separate fan motor. The fan is mounted to the main motor shaft. If the fan is running, but the compressor pump is not, the driveshaft is busted. Probably best to toss it.

first thing.
check the compressor.
make sure the p.s.i. is building.
there is a gauge on the tank,
around by the connection for the hose,
put the compressor on then check and make shure
the gauge is moving, then cut off.
around 120 p.s.i.
pull the safety ring "be vary careful it is very loud"
and check if it comes back on...

many thanges can do that, bad capacitor, shorting in the motor itself. what I would do is take off the out put line to your tank and run the motor. if nothing happens than, its more likely your tank valve is bad and needs to be replace.If your unit shut es down than its more likely your motor. take it to a service center and have it check out. good luck. PS your tank valve is screwed in to the tank at the end of the input line.

hi buddy sounds like you need a new pressure switch buy a new one from ebay buddy

Compressor has a bad valve. Needs to be replaced. The owners manual should have a break down of the compressor. Order the head kit.

3.5 amp fuse

You did not state whether the compressor would kick on automatically, or whether it would kick off at some point, so I have to work through it with you....
If the compressor runs, you should see pressure on one of the two gauges. The gauge that is closest to the tank is the pressure that the compressor proper is putting out to the tank, and is the primary gauge. The other gauge is the pressure supplied to the tool via the hose, downstream of the regulator. If you are seeing pressure at the first gauge, that's a good sign. Also a good sign is if the commpressor runs and switches off at some point before lifting the PRD (pressure relief device). This tells you that the compressor is pumping and that the pressure switch is working. If this is the case, try working the regulator control knob and watch the second gauge. The regulators can be tricky; sometimes the regulator knob operates in the opposite direction than expected, depending on the type of regulator, so experiment a bit. (Usually there is wording and an arrow on the knob telling you the direction to adjust. If you start to see a rise in the pressure on the gauge, go ahead and set the desired tool supply pressure.
If you can get a pressure on the first gauge, but nothing on the second gauge no matter how you manipulated the regulator, you should suspect a bad regulator.
If there is no pressure on the first gauge, try cracking open the drain valve on the tank and starting the compressor. If you get air out of the tank with no indication on the gauge, you should suspect a bad primary gauge. If you get no air out of the tank, open the drain valve further and check again. If still no air, the compressor itself is suspect. You will need to determine that the motor is in fact turning the compressor. If the motor is running, but the compressor isn't moving, unplug the compressor and reconnect the linkage. If the compressor will run with the motor, the compressor may be shot, or tha air intake may be plugged off. Remove the cover on the air intake and inspect the filter. Clean and replace as required.
If the compressor will start when you operate the on/off switch, but does not kick off at some point, the pressure switch is probably at fault. It is an odd piece of work....it is mechanical, electrical and pneumatic, all at once. You would need to troubleshoot each portion in order to put it right. The most common problem with the pressure switch is burned or welded contacts, followed by wiring issues to the contacts, then the air line to the switch, then mechanical linkages within the switch.
This humble guide should be enough to get you going. I hope that it has been useful.

Regards, and good luck!

well check to see that regulator is adjusted correctly the other thing is that you have blown head gasket. or a leak

make sure your are plugged into an outlet that will support the amps the compressor draws on start up if your plugged into an extension cord make sure its the right size for the lenght of cord ie.if your 50 ft from the outlet you should use a 12-3 cord,100ft 10-3, so on and so forth.
