Hello,

My compressor does not build pressure over twenty PSI. the engine keeps running and does not shut off. i bought it brand new in 2010 and used it very lightly, less than five hours of engine run time total. i changed the oil only once, after the break in period.

Thanks,
Juro
Davisburg, MI

p.s. This is the compressor
