i have got a old school arb compressor and once it fills full of air after about a min it kicks in again for about 30 secs then it stops for about a min then it kicks in for another 30 secs and keeps doing that i just didnt know if its meant to do it or if it is leaking out of the compressor this is happening with both lockers out

Sounds very much like you have a leak. A bit of washing up liquid in water is great for finding leaks, just dab it on with an old paint brush and you should see bubles appear where the leak is.

Happy hunting :lol:

using a spray bottle with soapy water is the best
