Hi Kats...

Good to hear the the compressor intake is pulling in air. Do you feel any puffing out of air at all? Probably not, as I'm sure you would have mentioned it.

The next thing that comes to mind is that you have a gasket leak inside, and air is simply cycling, as opposed to being pushed into the tank. Pull the line off from the pump head and feel for air being pushed out of the port? If that's happening, then the next step is to check the check valve going into the tank.

If air isn't puffing out of the line to the tank port, then it could be a gasket, or a pump mechanical issue.

Cheers,

Bill
