Question on air intake was created by Ludington@comporium.net
New compressor, 3 cylinder head, each cylinder has its own intake, each intake seems to have different suction. I would think they would all be similar. 60 gal pumps up in 4 1/2 min to 135. And from 100 to 135 in 1 min. So it seems to be working fine, just odd that each intake pulls differently.. should they ?

Thanks for the post!
If it's a newer air compressor, my thought is that the Reed Valves in each head just need time to break in, and this is why you're getting inconsistent suction from each intake filter.
It's not uncommon to have some variance, as long as you do get good suction you should be alright. But, this may correct itself after the unit runs with some good use and is broken in.
