Compressor not getting up to pressure

Hi Folks

Anybody got any ideas why my Iwata Sprint Jet compressor is not getting up to pressure, the motor is running but at best is only reaching 4/5psi. Is it repairable or time to buy a new one?

 

Many thanks for any help or advice.

It all depends on the problem,  does it sound right ?

 

Are all the hose connections tight/any leaks ?

 

Is the regulator  working properly ?

Does it bleed air out when you open it up ?

 

Have you tried connecting a hose directly to the output from the compressor, bypassing  the external moisture trap regulator.

Hi Paul

Thanks for the ideas, yes it does sound OK and yes the bleed valve at the bottom of the water trap works OK. As for the other suggestions I will have to work through them went I get a few minutes.
