Default Replace your soiled hose to keep idle low.

I just purchased 100 feet of replacement 1/8" o.d. clear PVC hosing for my Airgraver from Protubing @ http://protubing.com/ It was $12 delivered and I noticed my idle went back to the low level when the tool was new. With my Silentaire compressor the hoses soil up with oil in about 2 to 3 months and the idle begins to drop off. Even cleaning the tool won't completely help restore the low end idle.

Here in the Virgin Islands moisture is a big problem. I use 2 air/water seperators in line. Maybe that would help with your oil problem.

Thanks maplesm, I already have two filters in line. Changing the hose every couple months is pretty easy, especially now that I have it in bulk quantities. I drain the tank once a month of water. It sure does run nicer with the new tubing though. Amazing.
