Question posted by mrdemott on November 1st, 2021

Won't Transfer The Air In The Tank To The Hose.

So my air compressor has been sitting for several years in storage. When I cranked it back up, I found that the tank was building pressure, but the air was not being transferred to the hose for use. I tried to changed the seal in there but that didn't fix the issue. It's almost like it's blocked or something. Do I need to replace the regulator? The thing has hardly been used.
