Thanks for the post Bradd,

The problem lies in the pump itself. One or more of the compression components. Either the piston (compression) ring is defective (most likely) or one or more of the reed valves are damaged. This is the only reason the unit would not build to pressure, barring a large, obvious air leak somewhere else.

Unfortunately the piston ring isn't sold for this model, only the valves.
