Bad compressor?

This might be an obvious question, but I'll ask it anyway: I have a testor's "blue-mini" air compressor (about 2 years old) that is giving me grief. I can't get anything to spray using my airbrush. I thourghly cleaned it a few times. I can't get to spray paint or thinner. I figured my airb...

Looks really good. Didn't someone post a DIY arc welding circuit a few months back. I was looking for it in my downloaded schematics, but apparently I didn't save it. I don't know.
