Hi i have a 1hp 3 gallon craftsman Compressor that will not build pressure past 25 psi

i have taken the head of and took the cylinder off and piston and the 3 rings look new,plenty of oil too. also this unit is less than a year old and not used very hard. i did take out that plastic valve with the spring on it thats on the tank and that looks good also

any help on this would be great.

my unit just wont go past 25psi :(


presure switch could be bad?

just cant seem to find this problem

Hi Greg. I've moved your question to the "compressor won't build pressure" page.

From that page I have posted this page on reasons why a compressor will not build pressure.

Please have a look and see if it helps any, and if not, send back another comment on this thread.

Cheers,

Bill
