Why is it, when I use my big air compressor, that it doesn't "suck" up the solution? All I get is air. And I have it set at 20 psi. Even tried 15 psi

Adjust your flow knob. Also crank it up. I spray around 35-40 psi depending on the solution. When you set your psi are you watching what happens to the gage after you pull the trigger. My often drops and I have to readjust the pressure. Hope this helps.

My air tube popped out easy to blow it up. I use the air mattress pump now much easier and that might work if yours is defective. Or send it back.

The compressor is rated to the 33" tire,probably because the all compressor have a maximum working PSI.As the pressure in the tire begins to build up,the compressor has to actually work against that pressure to continue pumping air at a reasonable rate without overheating.This one possibly might not be able to sustain the working pressure's of a larger tire as well as the longer duration it will take inflate it.I own one and it works great but,I haven't really used it in a 35" tire to give you a definite answer.But,if you own 35" tire's or larger,I would recommend you buy a larger compressor because,even if this unit was up to the job,it'll take you a very long time to air up!

The compressor runs good but paint does splatter a little I bought a quick release with pressure adjuster for $2 , but could also be paint clogging , gonna try thinning paint or filtering it with like some kinda pantyhose material

Not exactly sure what you mean. If your talking about a mobile compressor like something you would take off roading I dont see why it wouldnt work just fine. No air is released until you squeeze the handle. On the other hand are you saying your compressor is continuous and has no relief?

Just for that kind of test (overnight air leak), I have had mine pumped up to pressure since I received it. It has probably bled off a couple pounds a WEEK as per the mounted included gauge. Your overnight air loss is usually attributed to having the air hose connected to the outlet port on the compressor and having a accessory attached to the air hose,,,then the unit WILL leak air overnight,,as with most if not all compressors in that configuration. When not in use, remove the air hose from the compressor quick connect outlet port.

The unit works ok, Do have a problem with harder wood "apple wood". I feel like 7tons of preasure should have 0 problems. I am a little confused with why the manual has the vent opened while running and air in the hydraulic lines? Thought process of how hydraulics work might be wrong but I thought you didn't want air because it compresses? Also when it does start to struggle, even a little, the motor immediately dies, Is this a tunning issue or a malfunction?

My unit fan runs continuously no matter what the setting. I never hear the compressor kick in.I am concerned about my electric bill also. How did any of you speak to a representative? All I got was to e-mail them and I have not heard back. Right now I am trying to use the bucket and see if shuts off when the bucket is full. What is a good setting for a large basement? I would appreciate any help.

My compressor has an identical output and it works. You do have to wait for pressure to build up between uses. I was removing ceramic tile and the tile cement from a bathroom floor so I would take up some tiles and cement, clean that up while the pressure built back up and then do some more. It will not work continuously because the compressor can't keep up but you can do a significant amount.

When I use mine, I let it come up to pressure and it stops itself somewhat over 120psi at the tank. I have the output side of the regulator set to about 50 psi for filling tires on vehicles. Part way through filling up a tire the compressor will turn on again to bring the tank up to pressure again.If you are expecting the compressor to turn off at what you have set the regulator to, that is now how it works. The compressor will always fill the tank with its "normal" operating pressure and the regulator outputs the selected pressure.

That sucks. When mine is on it's set to Cool/Low/62/No Ion. It still doesn't actually cool particularly well (as my review says), but it does stay on indefinitely. You could try "power cycling" it. Unplug for 10 minutes or so (to make certain the compressor is reset) then try again. Works for routers, lol. Also consider maybe its an electrical issue. Try plugging in to a different circuit or something? Or is something bouncing air back into it that could be causing it to get wrong air temps? I'm just throwing out ideas here. :)

It depends on how long the line is and the size of the line. Don't you have higher than 15 psi?

I used my air compressor that I have in my garage. I set the pressure to 25 psi to not create too much pressure.

It's more about how much air the compressor will put out per minute. You will have to stop fairly frequently to let your setup catch up if you are painting something that is large. I have/had a set of these guns. You can't use them straight out of the box. Totally take them apart and clean all the junk out of them and take the plastic gasket, that divides the nozzle from the paint chamber, and some 800 grit sandpaper and on a flat surface, lap the gasket flat (can't remember if it's the front or back side but you'll be able to tell which one should be smooth). Mine leaked air, very badly, into the paint chamber. Every time I squeezed the trigger, you could see bubbles percolating through the paint. Lapping that hard plastic gasket stopped that. Don't expect to be able to spray a candy with these guns. The pattern(s) on mine is/are too inconsistent. I ended up buying a different gun to shoot my base/clear. Matt

The max pressure says it's 150 PSI... But when I tested it got around 140 PSI! But when it's close to the 150 PSI according to the pressure gauge then it gets restarted.If you do offroading, it's a really good compressor and you can permanently install it in your truck. It can withstand water, mud... you name it... if it get's damage get another one!

Mine was all pressurized and ready to go. I may have checked prior to placing into service. Use an air pressure gauge suitable for 0 to 15 PSI. Check it against specs, it you need to increase pressure, use a hand pump, like a bicycle tire pump - caution do not exceed max pressure.

Same thing happened to me. The thing in the hose that presses the pin in the tire valve fell off. I am not able to find a replacement hose, so will be looking for an adapter like Dmitry mentioned.This may be a problem with these otherwise great compressors.
