A Pro Source air compressor model 1110C willl not build pressure

When turn on the pressure will not build up. It has oil. There is no water in the tank.

So, your air compressor starts fine, runs, but there is zero, absolutely no, air pressure build up in the tank?

Or, does a little pressure build up, and then, even though the compressor runs and runs, no more pressure builds?

I need to know which, please.

Post your response as a comment on this post please.

Suggestion:

Are you feeling a vacuum at the intake port when the compressor is running? If it's just pulling, and not puffing back out, it's likely not your valve. If you are feeling a puff of air in between intakes, then it possible is a leaky or failed intake valve.

Cheers,

Bill

First checks are always for air blowing back out of the intake port on the pump. If not that, and no audible leaks elsewhere, then it may be a gasket inside the pump has let go.

See the TROUBLESHOOTING pages relating to air compressors that will not build pressure.
