are a pain to deal with. I've taken every air connection apart and rebuilt/resealed them, some more than once. Last night, I fired it up and still found two more leaks. Dealt with them, built the air pressure up to 80psi and let it sit over night. Just checked it and it's sitting at a solid 78psi. WAHOOOOOOOO, we have success! New sight glass (custom tapped 3/4"npt from Mcmastercarr), new pressure switch, new air filter, new intake filter, and new 1/4 quick connect fitting later, and I've got a good 60 gallon air compressor for less than $200. Next and final order of business is the second oil change. It is starting to darken up some on the first oil change.
