Hello dennis anderson, Thank you for stopping and your support. I have not had this problem so I am just putting some ideas out. Could be a short in the wiring, if you are using an extension cord that is too long & not the right gauge that will usually trip the circuit breaker but maybe the fuse in this case. Maybe something jamming up? How long does it run & what tool are you using on it? I will pin your comment so it is seen on the top of the comments so others will see it & possibility be of help. When you find the cause let us know. Stay safe, Joe Z
@@JOEZEP54 I really do appreciate this Joe. I took apart last night actually looks good the compressor fan turns good all I can think it must be maybe in the windings. thanks again and have a blessed day my friend!
Did you find the problem? Does it blow when you use enough air for it to restart and build pressure back up? If so, I would suspect one way check valve that is supposed to keep pressure off the piston so it starts back with no pressure in the cylinder, if I am not mistaken.
I have the same compressor and exact same symptoms. Took it apart and it was broken at the exact same spot. Quick trip to HD and it's just like new. Thank you Joe. Great video.

I have a small 3 gallon compressor from Home Depot (about 6 years old) that stopped building pressure last week. I saw you video and took the cover off and had the same line breakage. A quick trip to Ace Hardware to purchase about a foot of copper (no aluminum in stock) tubing and two compression sleeves (total cost $3.23) and about 15 minutes of work and I am back in business. Thanks for the video.

Found a compressor on the side of the road. Thought at the worst I could make an air tank and salvage some fittings. Took it home and it runs but no pressure. Took the head off and found a broken reed. About $13 from Amazon and I’ll have another compressor. That’s how I found your channel. Subscribed
Thank you for your support. I really appreciate it. It is amazing what you can find road side even more so what people pay to bring to the dump/recycle center in my town. I started a Trash or Treasure series just for this. I haven't been too active lately due to home projects popping up & trying to get ahead of next years firewood supply. Hope to hear from you again. Stay safe, Joe Z

I have the same compressor that had the same problem that needed of the same solution. This was the first and only video I watched. I waited until I made the repair to post a comment because I thought it would be easier to manipulate the broken end of the line with the other end completely loose. Turns out it's a bit of a fight regardless of how you do it. A quick trip to home Depot and about 15 minutes of work and the little guy is back up and running.Thanks for the excellent video.
You're welcome. It is for a water line. Just had to adapt for a different use. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I do appreciate that. Al Ale if you get time I see plumbing videos get quite a few views. I know it can be tough time wise but your in a good field. I would do more videos myself but the time it takes me to do a video is sometime longer than the job I am doing LOL Hey thanks again & stay safe, Joe Z
@@JOEZEP54 just fixed my compressor thanks to your video. My hard line was cracked and a quick trip to lowes for a 1’ piece of 1/2” od soft copper and some ferals got my psi up from 25 to 100. Now im battling gasket leaks. Waiting on some rtv to set before my next test. Bending the copper was not fun and i didnt anticipate that being so hard but i got it. Thanks again.
@@alale923 Glad this helped you out. Not only did we safe a few $$$ but less to the landfills. Some gets recycled but there is always waste & less resources used. Stay well, Joe Z
@@alale923Did you get yours working again? Gasket leaks make me wonder if check valve is bad and causing pressure to build up around the head gasket. Check valve is one way valve. If bad, pressure can build up in the cylinder.
Followed your directions and took the compressor apart. Ferrel looked ok but simply wrapped the end of the tube with Teflon tape and the pressure went from 40 lbs max to 90 in a soulless of minutes. I was ready to junk it until I found your video. Thanks.

Joe Z, I appreciate your video!! I picked up a small compressor (Blue Hawk from Lowes)that was thrown out in the trash. It only built up 20 psi. Of course most always go to worse case scenario. I watched your video while I took it apart. Sure enough, the line had vibrated loose. Tightened it up, turned it on and went up to 90psi before I turned it off. Thanks again...JT

Thank you so much for this helpful video! I have the exact same model of compressor, and it failed in the exact same way. It's funny how that happens! Home Depot had the exact parts you showed, and thank you for showing the parts that you used. That makes it much easier for those of us who are unfamiliar with the details of individual plumbing parts to get the right ones. I was able to slightly round off the corners of the aluminum tube to make it fit, and with a little mechanical persuasion, it all went back together with the new fittings. It is holding pressure just great. It goes up to 100 pounds, shuts off just great, and is working like new. Thank you again!

Thanks for the great video. I have had this same HF compressor for around 10 yrs. I turned it on this morning and it only filled to 40 psi. I will take it apart and see if it is doing the same as yours.
You're welcome, I hope this helps. And thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. MrBluesluver, other places you may develop an air leak is at the drain valve and the quick connectors. If it is at the drain valve it usually is an o ring that has to be replaced. Let me know how your repair goes.

I have this compressor and the Central Pneumatic 8 gallon oiled compressor. The oiled compressor charges in about two minutes. The small pancake compressor takes 10 minutes! In fact, I had it apart like you here and determined there's nothing wrong with it other than building pressure dog slow....
Thank you for stopping by & taking the time to comment. This compressor was always slow building pressure. I use it mainly when I am working in the field to fill tires. I carry it with me when I pick up the riding mowers. This is the main reason I bought it but was looking for it to be a little more versatile.

You're welcome David. I mentioned this in a previous comment but I believe this may also be of help.

Hi great video but question did all the cjecks took the head off checked all fittings an still no luck wont go past 20# only thing I have not took the pressure control knob off yet any suggestions ? Thank you
Thank you for stopping by. If it is not the tube like this video check the simplest thing first. Is the drain valve completely closed & not leaking? Next remove the air hose, it could be leaking. Next check the quick release, sometime they leak. If all is ok you may have a gasket under the compressors head that is blown or an issue with the reed valves. Let me know what you find.

Decaf, decaf my friend LOL. Hey Robot, thank you for stopping by and adding some humor 🤔 Hope this helped you get your compressor up & running. Stay well, Joe Z
You're welcome. I would check the adapter ( quick release ), not sure of the name but where the hose connects to the compressor before I take it apart. With the pressure gauge in the off ( no pressure to the tool ) side remove the quick release. Then turn the pressure gauge on. If air comes out you found the problem if not you eliminated a possibility. Let me know if this is of help Stay safe, Joe Z
Bayou Flats, I did not run into this problem ( yet ). I had exhaust fans that would run fine but every so often I would have to go roof top & give them a spin to get them going until I changed out the motors. I was told they had a "dead spot" & when the motor stopped on it they needed a spin to get going again. Do you have to push the reset button to get yours going? If so it may be the rectifier. It can also be the pressure switch. Not being an electrician I am giving you my best guess. Really not too much to these compressors but be careful they can still give a BIG bite. Let me know if this was of any help & how you got it going again. Be Safe, Joe Z
@@JOEZEP54 thanks for reply. Yes, I’m thinking one of those two items also. If D.C. not there-it’s not going to run and if it thinks it’s at pressure-not going to run. Appreciate
Wouldn't surprise me it does that again. Maybe opted for brake line with 2-3 loops bent and pulled a little from each other in the line between the two points of attachment to act as a vibration absorber
I have been using this compressor since this repair. Your comment is timely. Just yesterday it would not build pressure pass 20lb. It happened again. Now for the brake line. I will try your loop suggestion. Thank you for visiting & this tip. Stay safe, Joe Z
Joe Z, you sir are the fucking man. You just saved my casting project deadline. Im using a pressure pot I made out of a paint sprayer tank to embed a dog collar like the one that was on my dads dog that just passed. Im giving it to him christmas eve, and the resin takes 2 days to cure. I literally dont have enough time to take this shit back to Hazard Fraught (happened to mine, brand new). I would buy you a beer sir. I was lucky enough to be able to reuse the ferule and then just fucksmash the giblet in there. Joe Z: A King Amongst Men

Welcome to my channel. You're far south from Wappingers Falls NY (easier to find Poughkeepsie on the map ). I am between NYC & Albany. The closest I lived to Alabama was New Orleans Louisiana. Was the issue with the Craftsman the same as this HF? Joe Z
Do you know if that model has an air filter? Mine is slowing down a bit and it's probably 5-6 years old so that's to be somewhat expected but I was wondering if it's maybe just a clogged filter. There was nothing about a filter in the manual.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. This model does not have a filter. Check the connections, they may have loosened up a bit. Also check the connection for the air hose, I had one leak on me. Let me know if this was of help. Stay safe, Joe Z
One of mine does not build very much pressure at all. It appears to be the regulator valve. I took it apart, and it looks like someone had fooled with it before, I lost the print in it. I tend to get another valve. Have 3 or 4 more I need to get back on too.
Great video, you are the best. Do you think may i change that tube with a hose? I don't think i can find the copper joints. Thank you. Is the same problem my compressor have, the tube cracked where the copper joint is.
Documentales Pepino Thank you! I am nor sure about the hose. If you go that way make sure the hose is rated for the proper PSI. You can also take a piece of the broken tubing & the nut to an auto parts store. I believe they have brake line of the same diameter. If so you can purchase a short length for just a couple of dollars. Stay safe, Joe Z
I buyed a piece of copper tube with two bronze rings. I did not find the hose so put the copper pipe and rings and worked just like you said. Thank you again. Finished my work. Best regards.
@@JOEZEP54 i know is a non lubricated model. Could you make a video with maintaining tips and points of lubrication for this model and keeping on working good? I really apreciate that! Regards.
Fingers crossed! If not this I would check the regulator and then the valves. I am always interested, let me know what it was & the fix. Stay safe, Joe Z
@@JOEZEP54 Turns out one of the reed valves snapped in the center, and one half slid over the other half. I found a kit for about $13 shipped on Amazon that comes with stainless reed valves and a head gasket. Fingers crossed the parts work!
I 💕 the vid, 👍 having fam involved mine has rubber hose instead. I took off hose on far end it's still pumping PRESSURE but not building in the tank, too loud for me to hear 🙉 hiss. And can't see any bubbles when I use soapy water. I'm at a loss that's why I'm reaching out,????
Hi Joe, it could be the drain valve on the bottom of the tank, or the quick release where you attach the hose. On mine I have to have the outlet side closed until the tank fills or it will take a long time to fill. Let me know if this is of help. Stay safe, Joe Z
@@JOEZEP54 both those connections and every time I have to put parts together I use teflon tape and always drain water out of the bottom with soapy water I can easily see if either place there was bubbling leaking air drives me crazy I'm so OCD can't even hear the hiss would bother me whatever happened happened quickly last week when I used it to air up my bike tires it was fine it had been seeming like it's running a little bit long to build that pressure but when I did I never heard a hiss. As I said when it's running it's too loud to hear his coming from it and it's not building up any pressure I think I'm going to take the compressor off of the tank mounted to a board and splice my air hose onto it forgetting the gauge is completely just go for minimalistic and function savings space. I can always use a tire gauge and I use one anyway when I'm done airing anything up. Your reply and your time I thank you for very much. 👍😁
I have a similar 3gal pancake compressor that will build air, but as soon as it's at full pressure and I try to fill a car tire to 35psi, the tank pressure drops like a rock. As you know, it takes forever to reach full tank pressure again, so it can take an hour to get air into a tire. Even if I set the hose pressure to the max, it still dumps all the tank air quickly without filling the tire. Any idea what causes that?
Sorry for the late reply. I had a computer problem & was trying to reply to comments on a borrowed tablet. Check all your connections for a leak when you fill the tire. It can be a bad/leaking fitting or a check valve. Hope this is of some help. Stay safe, Joe Z
Congrats on resolving an interesting, unusual problem. Expected you would dab soap on suspect fitting before wrenching it which would cause strain on pipe. Was unable to tell whether you loosened compression nut at the rust connector before trying to tighten rust connector.
65CSX, Thank You for watching and taking the time to comment. I did not use soap, everything was very easy to take apart. But if there is a rusted fitting hard to remove I would use a mix of 50% transmission fluid & 50% acetone that I keep on hand. If nothing is available soap could work.

@@JOEZEP54 Soap at fitting for air leak check before separating needlessly. Same here on just one of many handy ATF uses. So rusty fitting cause is unresolved I take it?
@@65csx83 Soap to check for air leak, now that makes sense to me. Misunderstood before. Rusty fitting not the problem. Aluminum tubing snapped. Since this video the compressor is used 2 to 3 Xs a week without any issues.

Thank you for this video. My compressor did the same thing. Do you remember what line you found at Home Depot? I need to go get the parts for the repair and I want to put something flexible and durable in.
You're welcome & thank you for watching. I cannot remember but if you take the nut with the whole that holds the tubing you can use it to make sure you get the right size. Also if you go to an auto parts store you can buy a short piece of break line. Do not forget to get a new ferrule ( compression sleeve) to complete the compression fitting. Hope this helps to get you going. Stay safe, Joe Z
@@JOEZEP54 my HD only had a clear tube in 1/4” that had a large enough diameter. My dad said they used a certain type of rubber on equipment when he was a mechanic on a Marine base. Told me if it breaks find copper tubing and use that. It was their preferred fix on equipment.
@@ltnerb Yes I agree with your dad about the copper. If you cannot fins the copper in a small quantity not to buy a roll of copper tubing, try the auto parts store for a short piece of brake line.
Can confirm after taking off the cover and starting it up, I then proceeded to stick my fingers in the fan blade. Which, *luckily* was WAY worse for the fan than my fingers. Which I still have all of, the fan managed to lose every single blade pile driving my index tho..
Hello, i have a oil paasche silent compressor for airbrushing it turn on but it doesn’t fill the tank it just stays on and gets hot. I checked for leaks no leaks. Hope u can help thank you.

What if the regulator is set to high pressure but regardless which air hose I use, it airs car/truck tire up very slowly. Check valve, regulator, hose?
I would check the gauges. If the tank pressure gauges is reading the proper pressure I would "assume" there is an issue with the regulator. If it is not building up to the correct pressure there is either a leak somewhere or your reed valves may be the issue. Hope this is of help. Stay safe, Joe Z
Found lots of condensation, no leaks, copper tube, sprayed lots of WD 40 into tank and pressure control knob which has holes and rubber seals. Issue was extreme amount condensation. Thanks
You're welcome and thank you for watching & taking the time to comment. I drain my tank after using it a few times. It usually just used to fill mower tires when working outside. Stay well, Joe Z
It reaches 100psi per its gauge, but barely fills a tire. No leaks. Might have to disassemble the area where that pipe connects to, opposite the tank section.
@@raycarr225 When it reaches 100 PSI does it hold pressure. Mine now has a slight leak where the hose gets connected. Check the regulator it may have a leak.
Thank you for stopping by & taking the time to ask this question. In this case there wasn't any stored air pressure. With the broken inlet tubing air pressure could not be made to any significant amount or maintained. Stay well, Joe Z

Thank you for watching. Your question got me curious. I was busy the last couple of days but today I opened this compressor up. I could not see where the intake is. Should be obvious but I could not see it. Could be under where the piston is. Sorry I could not be of more help. Stay safe, Joe Z
@@JOEZEP54 I peered into the openings where you can see the motor shaft enter the pump, and saw the 5 small holes at the 6 o'clock position that the air is drawn from- No filtering for the air aside from the small holes; best for longevity not to run it in a dusty environment. I sprayed a bit of lube into the intake and let the pump pull it in to coat the reed valves internally, and it dropped the charge time to cut off by 20 seconds. Air tool oil should help keep the parts and tank from corroding.
My compressor starts working and builds pressure up to 150psi but sometimes during work it will not start and won't keep tank charged. Sometimes it turns on only for a few seconds then goes quiet. Sometimes I hears something that it wants to start like air going somewhere through the pipe for about 2 second and then quiets and stays like that. Fails to keep up pressure in tank when I use it. Pressure goes low as 50psi but compressor doesn't start. Then I had to open drain valve to release remaining air pressure in the tank. Disconnect it from AC power for few minutes and it starts working again build up to 150psi again. I don't hear any air leaks. What could be wrong?
It sounds like it has to do with the regulator/pressure switch ( maybe called something else). You may want to check the reed valves. Something could be malfunction there. When the compressor does not turn on is it after it has run for a long period filling the tank then won't come back on once the tank calls for more pressor?
@Jo Blo Thank you for visiting. Yes it is. I do not know if they still carry this model, $39 or $49 when I bought this. Now they sell a MCGRAW brand for $70. Looks the same but maybe better built?? Stay well, Joe Z

I would check the easiest & often overlooked first. Check the drain valve on the bottom of the tank for leaks. Next air hose connections, fittings and regulator. Then take a look inside. May be the air line like the one in this video, may not be broken but loose. If none of these it may be the reed valve. Let me know if any of this helped. Stay safe, Joe Z

@robhtp3817, Thank you for watching. It may be something simple. Before taking it apart check all the connections, even a small leak will be an issue. Be sure to check the purge valve, there should be an O-ring or some washer there. Sometimes they go missing or just deteriorate causing a leak. My air chuck has a small leak, so when I am filing the tank I keep the air flow to it off until the tank fills. If none of this helps you may have a loose connection in the area that I show in this video. These are the usual leak locations. After only a few times used it should not be the reed valve but cannot rule it out if all else fails. @robhtp3817, I have other videos on my channel that cover different subjects and new videos added weekly that may also be of help or interest.

hello my compressor just like this one keeps blowing its glass fuse has anyone had a problem like that?
Hello dennis anderson, Thank you for stopping and your support. I have not had this problem so I am just putting some ideas out. Could be a short in the wiring, if you are using an extension cord that is too long & not the right gauge that will usually trip the circuit breaker but maybe the fuse in this case. Maybe something jamming up? How long does it run & what tool are you using on it? I will pin your comment so it is seen on the top of the comments so others will see it & possibility be of help. When you find the cause let us know.
Stay safe, Joe Z
@@JOEZEP54 I really do appreciate this Joe. I took apart last night actually looks good the compressor fan turns good all I can think it must be maybe in the windings. thanks again and have a blessed day my friend!
@@heavenbound78 Hi dennis, sorry I missed this reply. Were you able to get it going?
@@heavenbound78 Also check input diode bridge
Did you find the problem?
Does it blow when you use enough air for it to restart and build pressure back up?
If so, I would suspect one way check valve that is supposed to keep pressure off the piston so it starts back with no pressure in the cylinder, if I am not mistaken.
I have the same compressor and exact same symptoms. Took it apart and it was broken at the exact same spot. Quick trip to HD and it's just like new. Thank you Joe. Great video.

Check valve is one way valve. If bad, pressure can build up in the cylinder.

I picked up a small compressor (Blue Hawk from Lowes)that was thrown out in the trash. It only built up 20 psi.
Of course most always go to worse case scenario. I watched your video while I took it apart. Sure enough, the line had vibrated loose. Tightened it up, turned it on and went up to 90psi before I turned it off.
Thanks again...JT

Thank you so much for this helpful video! I have the exact same model of compressor, and it failed in the exact same way. It's funny how that happens! Home Depot had the exact parts you showed, and thank you for showing the parts that you used. That makes it much easier for those of us who are unfamiliar with the details of individual plumbing parts to get the right ones. I was able to slightly round off the corners of the aluminum tube to make it fit, and with a little mechanical persuasion, it all went back together with the new fittings. It is holding pressure just great. It goes up to 100 pounds, shuts off just great, and is working like new. Thank you again!

Thanks for the great video. I have had this same HF compressor for around 10 yrs. I turned it on this morning and it only filled to 40 psi. I will take it apart and see if it is doing the same as yours.
You're welcome, I hope this helps. And thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. MrBluesluver, other places you may develop an air leak is at the drain valve and the quick connectors. If it is at the drain valve it usually is an o ring that has to be replaced.
Let me know how your repair goes.

I have this compressor and the Central Pneumatic 8 gallon oiled compressor. The oiled compressor charges in about two minutes. The small pancake compressor takes 10 minutes! In fact, I had it apart like you here and determined there's nothing wrong with it other than building pressure dog slow....
Thank you for stopping by & taking the time to comment. This compressor was always slow building pressure. I use it mainly when I am working in the field to fill tires. I carry it with me when I pick up the riding mowers. This is the main reason I bought it but was looking for it to be a little more versatile. Will not be getting rid of my larger compressor any time soon LOL

I timed mine and it took 3 minutes 48 seconds to fill from empty to the 100 psi cutoff.
If it's taking 10 minutes then there's a problem somewhere-
Thanks I’ve got the same compressor an it just stopped building air pressure Now I have a idea what’s wrong an how to repair it!👍
You're welcome David. I mentioned this in a previous comment but I believe this may also be of help. If it is running & not building up pressure also check the drain on the bottom, it may have just have loosened up from being hit or may have a bad oring. Also I once had a small leak at the quick release. Let me know how your repair went.

Hi great video but question did all the cjecks took the head off checked all fittings an still no luck wont go past 20# only thing I have not took the pressure control knob off yet any suggestions ? Thank you
Thank you for stopping by. If it is not the tube like this video check the simplest thing first. Is the drain valve completely closed & not leaking? Next remove the air hose, it could be leaking. Next check the quick release, sometime they leak. If all is ok you may have a gasket under the compressors head that is blown or an issue with the reed valves.
Let me know what you find.

I have exactly the same issue on a totally different compressor.
Over time, the motor vibes get to the connection at the far end of the line at the tank.
Thank you for stopping by & taking the time to comment. This was an easy fix, lasted 2 year of use & abuse but finally went out again.

Txs Joe,but let me ask you my compressbuilds up air but doesn,t show pressure out of air hose.Will take apart an check lines.txs again.
You're welcome. I would check the adapter ( quick release ), not sure of the name but where the hose connects to the compressor before I take it apart. With the pressure gauge in the off ( no pressure to the tool ) side remove the quick release. Then turn the pressure gauge on. If air comes out you found the problem if not you eliminated a possibility. Let me know if this is of help
Stay safe, Joe Z
Thanks Joe. I have exact model. Mine will only turn over once when I tap on it and then only sometimes. Any ideas? Thanks
Bayou Flats, I did not run into this problem ( yet ). I had exhaust fans that would run fine but every so often I would have to go roof top & give them a spin to get them going until I changed out the motors. I was told they had a "dead spot" & when the motor stopped on it they needed a spin to get going again. Do you have to push the reset button to get yours going? If so it may be the rectifier. It can also be the pressure switch. Not being an electrician I am giving you my best guess. Really not too much to these compressors but be careful they can still give a BIG bite.
Let me know if this was of any help & how you got it going again.
Be Safe, Joe Z
@@JOEZEP54 thanks for reply. Yes, I’m thinking one of those two items also. If D.C. not there-it’s not going to run and if it thinks it’s at pressure-not going to run. Appreciate
@@bayouflats5054 Glad to be of help. Sounds like you're on the right track. Let us know.
Wouldn't surprise me it does that again. Maybe opted for brake line with 2-3 loops bent and pulled a little from each other in the line between the two points of attachment to act as a vibration absorber
I have been using this compressor since this repair. Your comment is timely. Just yesterday it would not build pressure pass 20lb. It happened again. Now for the brake line. I will try your loop suggestion. Thank you for visiting & this tip.

Joe Z, you sir are the fucking man. You just saved my casting project deadline.

Do you know if that model has an air filter? Mine is slowing down a bit and it's probably 5-6 years old so that's to be somewhat expected but I was wondering if it's maybe just a clogged filter. There was nothing about a filter in the manual.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. This model does not have a filter. Check the connections, they may have loosened up a bit. Also check the connection for the air hose, I had one leak on me. Let me know if this was of help.
Stay safe, Joe Z
One of mine does not build very much pressure at all. It appears to be the regulator valve.
I took it apart, and it looks like someone had fooled with it before, I lost the print in it. I tend to get another valve.
Have 3 or 4 more I need to get back on too.
Hope you get them up & running. I am curious, when you get them running let me know what the fix was.
Great video, you are the best. Do you think may i change that tube with a hose? I don't think i can find the copper joints. Thank you. Is the same problem my compressor have, the tube cracked where the copper joint is.
Documentales Pepino Thank you! I am nor sure about the hose. If you go that way make sure the hose is rated for the proper PSI. You can also take a piece of the broken tubing & the nut to an auto parts store. I believe they have brake line of the same diameter. If so you can purchase a short length for just a couple of dollars.
Stay safe, Joe Z
I buyed a piece of copper tube with two bronze rings. I did not find the hose so put the copper pipe and rings and worked just like you said. Thank you again. Finished my work. Best regards.

I 💕 the vid, 👍 having fam involved mine has rubber hose instead. I took off hose on far end it's still pumping PRESSURE but not building in the tank, too loud for me to hear 🙉 hiss. And can't see any bubbles when I use soapy water. I'm at a loss that's why I'm reaching out,????
Hi Joe, it could be the drain valve on the bottom of the tank, or the quick release where you attach the hose. On mine I have to have the outlet side closed until the tank fills or it will take a long time to fill. Let me know if this is of help.
Stay safe, Joe Z
@@JOEZEP54 both those connections and every time I have to put parts together I use teflon tape and always drain water out of the bottom with soapy water I can easily see if either place there was bubbling leaking air drives me crazy I'm so OCD can't even hear the hiss would bother me whatever happened happened quickly last week when I used it to air up my bike tires it was fine it had been seeming like it's running a little bit long to build that pressure but when I did I never heard a hiss. As I said when it's running it's too loud to hear his coming from it and it's not building up any pressure I think I'm going to take the compressor off of the tank mounted to a board and splice my air hose onto it forgetting the gauge is completely just go for minimalistic and function savings space. I can always use a tire gauge and I use one anyway when I'm done airing anything up. Your reply and your time I thank you for very much. 👍😁
@@JOEZEP54 not clear on what you meant about keeping your outlet closed until the pressure builds.??
@@MikeTyson2 The adapter where the air hose gets connected. I do not open the valve to let the air out until the tank is filled.
@@MikeTyson2 You're welcome. When you take the compressor off the tank check the valves in the compressor itself. One may be broken or missed aligned.
I have a similar 3gal pancake compressor that will build air, but as soon as it's at full pressure and I try to fill a car tire to 35psi, the tank pressure drops like a rock. As you know, it takes forever to reach full tank pressure again, so it can take an hour to get air into a tire. Even if I set the hose pressure to the max, it still dumps all the tank air quickly without filling the tire. Any idea what causes that?
Sorry for the late reply. I had a computer problem & was trying to reply to comments on a borrowed tablet.
Check all your connections for a leak when you fill the tire. It can be a bad/leaking fitting or a check valve. Hope this is of some help.
Stay safe, Joe Z
Congrats on resolving an interesting, unusual problem. Expected you would dab soap on suspect fitting before wrenching it which would cause strain on pipe. Was unable to tell whether you loosened compression nut at the rust connector before trying to tighten rust connector.
65CSX, Thank You for watching and taking the time to comment. I did not use soap, everything was very easy to take apart. But if there is a rusted fitting hard to remove I would use a mix of 50% transmission fluid & 50% acetone that I keep on hand. If nothing is available soap could work. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you for this video. My compressor did the same thing. Do you remember what line you found at Home Depot? I need to go get the parts for the repair and I want to put something flexible and durable in.
You're welcome & thank you for watching. I cannot remember but if you take
the nut with the whole that holds the tubing you can use it to make sure you get the right size.
Also if you go to an auto parts store you can buy a short piece of break line. Do not forget to get a new ferrule ( compression sleeve) to complete the compression fitting.
Hope this helps to get you going.

@@JOEZEP54 tried the flexible tubing it blew out at 40psi.
@@ltnerb What material was it made of?
@@JOEZEP54 my HD only had a clear tube in 1/4” that had a large enough diameter. My dad said they used a certain type of rubber on equipment when he was a mechanic on a Marine base. Told me if it breaks find copper tubing and use that. It was their preferred fix on equipment.
@@ltnerb Yes I agree with your dad about the copper. If you cannot fins the copper in a small quantity not to buy a roll of copper tubing, try the auto parts store for a short piece of brake line.
Can confirm after taking off the cover and starting it up, I then proceeded to stick my fingers in the fan blade.
Which, *luckily* was WAY worse for the fan than my fingers.
Which I still have all of, the fan managed to lose every single blade pile driving my index tho..
Glad you're ok. Thank you for watching & commenting. Tough way to trim your nails. 😬

Hello, i have a oil paasche silent compressor for airbrushing it turn on but it doesn’t fill the tank it just stays on and gets hot. I checked for leaks no leaks. Hope u can help thank you.
Thank you for stopping by. Oscar if you did not find any leaks it may be a broken reed valve. Without seeing it or knowing anything else about the compressed I would check that next. Let me know if this helps.
Stay well, Joe Z
Very helpful, thank you .

What if the regulator is set to high pressure but regardless which air hose I use, it airs car/truck tire up very slowly.
Check valve, regulator, hose?
I would check the gauges. If the tank pressure gauges is reading the proper pressure I would "assume" there is an issue with the regulator. If it is not building up to the correct pressure there is either a leak somewhere or your reed valves may be the issue.
Hope this is of help.
Stay safe, Joe Z
Found lots of condensation, no leaks, copper tube, sprayed lots of WD 40 into tank and pressure control knob which has holes and rubber seals. Issue was extreme amount condensation. Thanks
You're welcome and thank you for watching & taking the time to comment. I drain my tank after using it a few times. It usually just used to fill mower tires when working outside.
Stay well, Joe Z
It reaches 100psi per its gauge, but barely fills a tire. No leaks. Might have to disassemble the area where that pipe connects to, opposite the tank section.
@@raycarr225 When it reaches 100 PSI does it hold pressure.
Mine now has a slight leak where the hose gets connected. Check the regulator it may have a leak.
Unplugged it overnight and it held pressure. Issue now :doesn't fill a tire past just 2-3 pounds! Something's amiss.
@@raycarr225 Possible faulty gauge? Other than that I am at a loss.
You should put a stress loop for the vibration of the pipe.
Thank you for watching & taking the time to add a useful suggestion,
Stay well, Joe Z
Wouldn’t you want to release the stored air pressure before working on it?
Thank you for stopping by & taking the time to ask this question. In this case there wasn't any stored air pressure. With the broken inlet tubing air pressure could not be made to any significant amount or maintained.
Stay well, Joe Z
Best tire pump ever
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. That was the main reason for this compressor. Many times when I pick up a tractor or work on one that I have in the field this little unit is a big help.

Where is the air intake for the compressor? Do any of the shots show it ?
Thank you for watching. Your question got me curious. I was busy the last couple of days but today I opened this compressor up. I could not see where the intake is. Should be obvious but I could not see it. Could be under where the piston is. Sorry I could not be of more help.
Stay safe, Joe Z
@@JOEZEP54 I peered into the openings where you can see the motor shaft enter the pump, and saw the 5 small holes at the 6 o'clock position that the air is drawn from-
No filtering for the air aside from the small holes; best for longevity not to run it in a dusty environment.
I sprayed a bit of lube into the intake and let the pump pull it in to coat the reed valves internally, and it dropped the charge time to cut off by 20 seconds. Air tool oil should help keep the parts and tank from corroding.
@@dubmob151 Good tip.👌
I had this for years & will use your tip to keep it going for as long as possible.
Stay well, Joe Z
My compressor starts working and builds pressure up to 150psi but sometimes during work it will not start and won't keep tank charged. Sometimes it turns on only for a few seconds then goes quiet. Sometimes I hears something that it wants to start like air going somewhere through the pipe for about 2 second and then quiets and stays like that. Fails to keep up pressure in tank when I use it. Pressure goes low as 50psi but compressor doesn't start. Then I had to open drain valve to release remaining air pressure in the tank. Disconnect it from AC power for few minutes and it starts working again build up to 150psi again. I don't hear any air leaks. What could be wrong?
It sounds like it has to do with the regulator/pressure switch ( maybe called something else). You may want to check the reed valves. Something could be malfunction there. When the compressor does not turn on is it after it has run for a long period filling the tank then won't come back on once the tank calls for more pressor?
@Jo Blo Thank you for visiting. Yes it is. I do not know if they still carry this model, $39 or $49 when I bought this. Now they sell a MCGRAW brand for $70. Looks the same but maybe better built??

Hello i also have a pancake compressor like yours, mines is not putting out enough air, what do you think the problem could be??
I would check the easiest & often overlooked first. Check the drain valve on the bottom of the tank for leaks. Next air hose connections, fittings and regulator. Then take a look inside. May be the air line like the one in this video, may not be broken but loose. If none of these it may be the reed valve.
Let me know if any of this helped.
Stay safe, Joe Z

hola buen dia yo tengo uno husky de 2 galones uso esclusivo para inflar llantas del carro pero ya no me ensendio lo que encontre el fusible quemado le puse otro y lo quemo de nuevo revise la placa vi un surco como de un corto circuito alguien que me pueda ayudar y seguir usandolo de ante mano muchas gracias😥😥😥
Hola, no estoy familiarizado con el compresor Husky, y sin poder verlo, solo estoy dando mi mejor suposición. Si está quemando un fusible, debe ver qué está causando el cortocircuito. Puede ser solo un cable que estaba desnudo y tocando otro cable o conectado a tierra al compresor. Espero que esto sea de alguna ayuda. Avisame como va la reparacion. Mantente a salvo, Joe Z

I’ve only used mine like 3 times in the last year but now doesn’t seem to pass 60 psi. 😡
@robhtp3817, Thank you for watching.
It may be something simple. Before taking it apart check all the connections, even a small leak will be an issue. Be sure to check the purge valve, there should be an O-ring or some washer there. Sometimes they go missing or just deteriorate causing a leak. My air chuck has a small leak, so when I am filing the tank I keep the air flow to it off until the tank fills. If none of this helps you may have a loose connection in the area that I show in this video. These are the usual leak locations. After only a few times used it should not be the reed valve but cannot rule it out if all else fails.

I just got a broken one for free. I hope this is the issue.
Always nice to get a free tool. Sergio if it is running & not building up pressure also check the drain on the bottom, it may have just have loosened up from being hit or may have a bad oring. Also I once had a small leak at the quick release. Let me know how your repair went.
