I just bought a new, lightly used (one time), air compressor (craftsman 1.3 hp) which started and worked fine when I first bought it. Today when I started it it held no pressure and air was shooting out of the water drain which if i put my finger over then the tank would gain pressure. I was wondering how to fix this leak if i need a new drain or just can take it out and clean it then replace? The hole at the bottom of the drain seems to be a hole…I didnt know if it was supposed to have a spring stopper in there or anything? TIA!
I know what the valve is and how it work but it is leaking air when completely sealed. My questoin is does that mean i need a new valve or could the old one be jammed or need to be cleaned…
