Why ask why has always been above my avatar. If you think about it you say this quite often.

I'll go first.

Many years ago I bought a Craftsman air compressor. Don't use it a lot but always nice to have in the shop.

This air compressor always leaked down to zero. Put 80 pounds in it and eventually it will leak back to zero. All fittings and lines were sealed with Teflon tape. No biggie really. Don't use air tools as a rule. Just for tires and a air nozzle.

Around three weeks ago I pumped it up and you guessed it. Holds air! Has not leaked a pound.

Mine will run for about 5 minutes like a champ, then sputter and quit. Pump the primer bulb a couple times, runs like a champ for about another 5 minutes, repeat same step every 5 minutes or so until done..... Everything has been changed out, replaced, cleaned, etc.. No Love from the mower gods.....

unloader valve on your compressor finally cleared itself and seals..

How did murphy get credit for anything/everything that can/does go wrong?
 
I was down on Cape Cod this weekend, trying to leave at 2am, needed gas. Not a single gas station was open. Asked a cop, he replied no, there was no gas to be had. Asked a towing guy he stated that the town had passed an ordinance to have every placed closed from 1am to 4:30am to keep bad elements from gathering. Apparently there is a unreported crime wave on Cape Cod to the extent that law abiding folks can't get gas. What's up with that.

when individuals complain about a particular problem but offer no solutions ... that makes me ask why ask why
