The air compressor regulator may be leaking air because the O-ring or gasket is damaged or missing. An air compressor regulator is used to control the air pressure in an air compressor. If the regulator is not working properly, it can cause the air compressor to leak air. There are a few reasons why an…
It takes a long time to air up because the compressor has to fill the tank with air. If your air compressor is taking a long time to air up, there are a few potential reasons why. First, check that the compressor is properly lubricated. If it isn’t, the piston could be seizing, which would…
It is most likely because the air compressor is not getting enough power. If your Craftsman air compressor isn’t spinning, there are a few things that could be causing the problem. The most common cause is that the air compressor is not properly lubricated. You can check the oil level and add oil if necessary….
The compressor may be low on oil, or the air filter may be dirty. An air compressor is a device that converts power (using an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in pressurized air (i.e., compressed air). By one of several methods, an air compressor forces more and more air…
The Kobalt compressor bleeds air because it is faulty. If your Kobalt air compressor is bleeding air, there are a few possible reasons why. First, check to see if the air compressor is properly oiled. If the compressor is low on oil, it will likely bleed air. Second, check to see if the air compressor’s…
The most likely reason is that the air compressor is not properly maintained and has therefore lost some of its original power. If you have an air compressor that is not providing enough air, there are a few things that could be causing the issue. The most common reason for an air compressor to not…
The air compressor pulley may be slipping due to a loose or damaged belt. If your air compressor pulley is slipping, it could be for a number of reasons. The most common reason is that the belt is worn out and needs to be replaced. Another possibility is that the pulley itself is worn out…
If your air compressor is blowing out at low psi, there are a few potential causes. First, check that the compressor is properly lubricated. If the compressor isn’t properly lubricated, the air pressure can drop, causing the compressor to blow out at low psi. Another potential cause is a leak in the compressor. If there’s…
There could be a number of reasons, but the most likely is that the air compressor isn’t producing enough air pressure. If your 12 gallon air compressor won’t run air tools, there are a few potential causes. The first is that the air compressor may not be properly lubricated. If the compressor isn’t properly lubricated,…
Your air compressor may not be able to fill your tire because the max psi for your tire is less than 150. If you have a 150 psi air compressor, you may be wondering why it won’t fill your tire. There are a few reasons why this may be happening. First, check the pressure in…
