A ball valve on the internal air tank is leaking, which prevents enough air pressure from building up. This looks like a part we can get at a hardware store today.

@Evelyn FYI. I’ll see what I can find at local stores.

Fixed now. The valve was not the only leak. After replacing it, there was still an obvious leak somewhere. Fortunately it was easy to find, and we only had to get into the machine a little bit. One of the air hoses inside had a slit in it. It’s hard to see in the photo, but it’s there. We had some air line couplers already, so we cut out the bad section and spliced the two ends.

Thanks to David for the help!
