When using the air compressor, is air suppose keep coming out of the exhaust port the whole time.

Yes it is. That is how the suction is maintained. Works best if the oil is warm.

Yes, it works off of the Venturi principle to produces lower pressure inside the tank. If not it would pressurize the tank, and possibly explode.
391890
yes, it uses alot of air to run the venturi valve to draw a vacuum in the chamber.

check the clamps, maybe they are loose. if you had any welding done, check that too. air may be excaping before entering the muffler which makes a loud noise.

No, it's a high volume compressor, so the air speed coming out will be too low, not mention the air would be unfiltered and might have traces of compressor oil. Buy compressed air spray cans for that, and also use a regular home vacuum with a small brush attachment. Just be careful if vacuuming inside the case not to cause any static discharge. I've done this many times w/out frying anything, but you have to be careful.

Yes, NORMAL. The cap has a long tube and a vent hole so there is no pressure build up in the crankcase. Remember, this a "lubricated compressor". Think of it like a "small engine", the crankcase has to be vented.

I actually used my compressor. I turned the pressure way down but you really have to be careful if you use a compressor. Just blow it up really slow whatever you use.

I wondered the same thing, but I don't think it comes out. I believe it is there to cushion the compressor to reduce noise. The smell went away in about two weeks.

no, if fumes are entering your car, you have a problem in the exhaust system.

Depending on how much air is escaping it is normal. When you turn the compressor on, there will be some crankcase pressure that has to be released. On the other hand if you turn on your compressor and it takes a long time to build up tank pressure, or wont shut off due to the fact it cannot built tank pressure, that can be a sign of bad rings, and or valves. I went a long way to answer your question, so I guess the short answer is Yes, there should be a little air escape while its running. If, once the compressor has filled with enough tank pressure it should stop leaking air. Hope this helps. Depending on how much air is escaping it is normal.

Well the air exaust port is on the top of the canister and is filtered so it pretty much expells air in a straight colum of air. You really have to be over the vacuum to feel the exaust.

No. This air cleaner is junk. I had for a month when out riding and Chrome plug fell out. I would suggest buying the one my by Harley.

That is normal the window is to see the oil level on the unit. Its a stamp to label the air port above it so your aware the unit needs to breath because the it vents from that aera

Mine is working great are you seeing air on the intake tube if not shake your canater around jently front to back left to right all of air pockets should come out and be whisper quiet.

I haven't encountered this problem. The problem I have occasionally is, at some time after installation I find air has somehow gotten into the line and causes a terrible rattle and noise. I have been able to get rid of the problem by disconnecting and reinstalling the filters. Sorry this doesn't answer you question. Does it always happen? Maybe there is something floating around that blocks the flow when you open turn it on too fast.

Yes, because of the way it heats and cools the opposite will be coming out of the exhaust as I believe it just inverts the process it uses to heat or cool. It's what's known as a heat pump.

A) Does your unit push air out when not connected to anything? If so, it sounds like a problem with your hose or something else on the unit. If not it has to be after the pump. Either the tire or the connection are at fault. B) Try pushing the metal pin in the valve stem to release pressure. If nothing happens you are either out of air or it's broken. It should flow air with little to no movement. C) If that worked it has to be the connection. Maybe they don't align anymore and can be bent, or maybe you have to buy a better adapter. I'd get something like this(http://amzn.com/B001CJHU9W).

No. The compressor kicks off when it hits the set temperature but the fan keeps running.

I run it off the power oulet and have never had any issues. Could be something wrong with the compressor. May want to exchange it for another one.
