Hmmm...interesting hypothesis
The weather here is HOT...but then that's not anything new round here. I try
to do the "heavy lifting", compressor-wise, early in the AM when its only in
the 80's...no idea of the humidity, but this is normal weather here and
haven't had this much problem in the past.
Anyone have a clue what sort of compression figures I might be looking for as
a bit-o-diagnostics?
Figure I can find some way to do a dry and then wet compression test with a
little thought. Since I know it will pump up to the tank blow off pressure,
I'll need some way to monitor/count the number of revolutions on the pump to
duplicate the tests...any thoughts?
There's always some kinda pressure...

I suspect your piston rings are badly worn......Unless your humidity has
een exceptionally high.....
Don't try to paint anything in this condition....
