At least this is my understanding.

Don ... I pulled the unloader valve from the switch and blew it out, started the compressor and put up a cardboard shield and there is no leak!
I then pulled the intake line off the top of the check valve and started it .... yep compressed air going into the tank!
This makes no sense .... won't get past 35psi no matter how long it runs!
