You either have an air leak somewhere or you have a damaged valve in the valve body. You can check for leaks using a spray bottle with a dishwashing detergent/water mix. Spray the mixture on connectors and look for bubbles. Don't forget to check the tubing coming from the compressor head and the regulator. If you find no leaks (you need to check carefully), you might need to remove the compressor head and check to see if the valves in the valve body are damaged. My Campbell-Hausfeld compressor did the same thing and I had to replace the valve body.

What's wrong with my oiless air compressor

Sounds like the reed valve or valves in the head failed. When you unbolt the head you will see a thin piece of metal that is the valve assembly. If it is not all one piece it is broken and needs to be replaced.

I SEEM TO BE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY TANK PRESSURE. MY TANK PRESSURE SITS AT ABOUT 80 PSI AND THE REGULATED PRESSURE SITS AT ABOUT 70 PSI,IT DOES NOT GO ANY HIGHER, IS THIS NORMAL AND IF NOT WHAT DO I...

The C6110 is an oil free air compressor and has a piston ring that needs to be replace as part of regular service.
When the piston ring is worn out it will just keep pumping but it will not go over 80 psi or so because to much ir is passing by the ring.

Here is a parts diagram:

It sounds like the piston ring DAC-308 needs to be replaced. You can also replace the complete top end.
This is a pretty easy repair and can be done in less that 1 hour.

Unit turns on, builds prssure to about 45 psi, and won't go any higher. Continues to run. regulator is set for max line pressure.

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