IR2131 - 1/2" impact.

It's maybe 20 years old. Been used maybe half a dozen times in twenty years
(it has a brother that gets used usually) and has lived a coddled life in a
padded tool drawer. Not even really dusty.

Tried it the other day and it acts like there's no air in the compressor.
Turns really slow with no power at all. Not even a first good smack.

I'm trying to use it with a portable roofing compressor (the two long
tanks, maybe three gallon capacity), but it puts out 100+ p.s.i. and it
filled up.

Should I try to take it (the wrench) apart and see if something's in the
passages? Do they just wear out over time, even if not used? Might the
compressor be too small? My only thought is maybe a wasp got into it and
made a nest somewhere in there. I don't *see* anything, but...
