Fixed! Thank each & everyone of you for your thoughts. This why we come here as a fan base of this GREAT
hobby, to help each other. OK now what did I do to fix this compressor for not releasing pressure after filling
my gun? Well I,m not sure why this worked but it did. My compressor is a single cylinder Tuxing, a year old
& never had any trouble with it. I was about to pull the head, & started thinking it must be a stuck one way
valve. It set over the winter in my shop. I did this, I hunted up that plug they send with them to test pressure.
you know the little brass plug that comes with them that you invert into the air hose disconnect. I started
it up with pressure control knob open & let it warm up. Then I closed the pressure controlled knob as always
& watched the pressure gage till it reached 3000 psi. Crossed my fingers & open the release valve & IT RELEASED
the pressure!
. For some reason that valve had stuck open over the winter. I did nothing differant
when I filled the gun, then I did with that plug installed? Maybe someone that knows these compressors better
than me can chime in with there thoughts ?
