SOURCE: compressor will not pressurize
A simple check to see of the compressor is pumping is to remove the intake air filter and feel for suction. If the pump is working properly you will feel suction at the intake and the compressor will unload (speed up) when you restrict the opening. If no suction remove the head and valve plate and check the piston and reed valves for damage. Replace parts as needed. Parts are not expensive for small compressors. Good luck, enjoy.
SOURCE: my sears 2hp 15 gal compressor runs but pressure wont exceed 60lb
compresors pump, valvs or sels gon!
SOURCE: compressor not building pressure and continues to run
Unplug it and listen for air leak. What pressure does the manual tell you it should run to? The safety release could be bleeding air, listen for that, with it off. Make sure it is designed for more than 60 PSI by manufacture.

SOURCE: Craftsman 3 gal., 1.5 hp air compressor: won't
The compressor will not auto shut off until it reaches the preset pressure which is usually around 100-130 psi - your problem is leakage of air from the oil filler cap suggesting that you have a failed internal valve.
SOURCE: I have a Sears evolv 3 gal air compressor that
The evolv air compressor was primarily designed to power a very small nailer. The pressure regulator (knob in front) should be turned clockwise till it stops to attain full pressure. At this setting it should air your tire. If not you may have a defective regulator. There is a trick to get full pressure from your tank. Notice the small pressure safety valve on the side of the unit. You could remove this valve and install a fitting giving you two ports. One for the safety and other for a quick disconnect. This second port will give you access to tank pressure without going thru the pressure regulator. This mod is safe because you still have access to regulated pressure when you need it. Good luck
