Something open letting air out?

Motor working okay?

Houston, on my compressor you have to turn the round knob by the valve before it will start building up pressure. The more you turn it the higher the pressure builds. Hope that will help.

Motor is fine. Air is not leaking.

Is it a direct drive or belt drive? Oiled or Oil less? Does it stay on all the time or cutoff after pressure has built up?My best guess is the Regulator Valve, depending on how much money you have tied up in it you might want to see about replacing the part or just getting a new compressor..

Probably direct drive. Idk. It cuts off after pressure builds.

is the knob thats sets the tool pressure plastic and stripped ? when you turn it to the right it should reach the point where it cant be turned anymore

Shoot a nail from a nail gun at the tank from a safe distance. Alternatively, use a pistol. Guaranteed to stop it from building pressure.
