its an oiled compressor... i called grizzley and talked to the tech guy and he said it was usually the spring in the valve just needs to be stretched causing an internal air leak... i did that with no luck..

then he mentioned something about the reeds can get worn, i purchased new reeds with gaskets and will come in the next 3-5 business days ...

the compressor does not bog down and that pressure switch that you talking about it adjusted to all the way out (+) and the compressor constantly runs...

this thing is supposed to put out 10 CFM at 50psi , its pretty neat... i'll just be using it for small HVLP paint jobs
