Well my air compressor finally decided it didn't want to work anymore. Up until this issue the compressor had been running great. I finished a boat on Monday and left my truck at the boatyard since I would be coming the next day to start another boat. Before I moved my truck I replaced a hose on the compressor end and drained the fuel/water separator. I moved my truck a whole 100 feet and setup to do the other boat. The compressor fired right up and had no issues when I was filling my pot. I blasted for about a minute and it started to sound as if it was running out of fuel. When I let go of the deadman the compressor died. I thought that maybe I had gotten air in my lines from when I drained the fuel/water separator so I decided to bleed the injectors. It fired right back up and sounded great. As soon as I applied my deadman it started to die again. Since this has happened I have not been able to get the compressor to start. I replaced all of the fuel lines and the fuel/water separator. Normally when I would have air in the lines I would work the fuel through the system with the mechanical lift pump until I had it coming from all the injector fittings, then I would bleed them one by one. I have not been able to get any fuel to this point. My fuel shutoff solenoid is working, I can hear it clicking. At this point I'm kind of scratching my head, if anyone could offer any assistance it would be greatly appreciated.
