tuxing 032 leaking air from oil breather

[pesty3782]

I am getting slow pressure build up and air is coming out of the oil breath top. The last time this happened ,it was the check valve. I took apart the check valve and cleaned it all up again, but it still is slow on building pressure and when it does stop, you can hear and feel the air coming out of the oil breather....Any ideas?

piston compression rings not pushing enough volume? the piston lower rings not meant for pressure but to lube only.
do you have unrestricted air feed?
You check first how hot is a line between low and high pressure cylinder.
fyi happened to me with YH, I could grab fully that line when compressor running and it was barely hot.

Tony, it's normal to have some air blowing out of breather, it's "breathing". That's what it's for. However, it IS kinda weird that it's still pushing air AFTER compressor stops. Sounds like crankcase is over pressurized somehow. Have you done a spray leak check on ALL connections in regards to slow build up of pressure? BTW, I'm loving the old T-032 Nick gave me. Topped off 3 tanks in less time than it took to do one with my YH.

All connections are good....

If it’s leaking back through the crankcase, it’s likely the check valves and/or the reed valves.
