Do you have an infra red thermometer? I'm wondering if the problem is
that the piston is expanding in the cylinder and causing excessive
friction until the piston and cylinder cool down. Once everything cools
down again, if it seems to work properly only until the piston heats up
again, that may be the issue. If you can measure the temperature of the
cylinder you may be able to compare that with similar oilless
compressors that are working properly.

But definitely, when using a compressor and air tools, it's best to keep
the extension cord to the compressor as short as possible and get the
compressed air to where it's needed with a longer air line instead.

I've had a couple people go with "needs more power"
opinion, so I'll try that next. See if I can get
the compressor close enough to put it directly into
the wall socket, and take the 50 foot 16 gauge cord
out of the picture.
