So a couple of months ago my Craftsman upright Oil Free 150psi 26 Gallon compressor took a shit on me. It wouldn’t build pressure over about 30psi.

Ended up replacing the cooling fan and the piston Ring. Fired it up and the tool regulator would bleed pressure at whatever you had it set at. The tank would never reach full pressure.

I replaced the tool regulator with a Lowe’s Kobalt regulator. Same thing. Regulator holds pressure up to whatever you set it at and then starts bleeding air from around the knob.

what gives?
 
Or did I just find the problem?
