Troubleshooting Compressor Running But No Change with Gauge and Air Bags
Question:
Compressor runs but the gauge does not go up and TGE bags do not fill up.

Expert Reply:
If you have a compressor kit like the Firestone Air Command I # F2158 that runs but the gauge doesn't move and bags don't fill up then this means there is something blocked or disconnected between the compressor and the rest of the system.
What you'll need to do to remedy this is check your air line. Start at the compressor and look for any places where the line may be damaged or clogged. It might help to use some soapy water to see if there are any places where the air is escaping so that you can service it with a kit like part # F2012.
Be sure that if you need to cut in new line or maybe snip some old line that you are using an appropriate cutter like part # AL10530. This will ensure that your air line is cut correctly and evenly so that you don't have bad connections.
