I have a Clarke Ranger 2HP 20 GL air compressor. It's pretty much the same as all the Chinese compressors in it's class. Well, it's having an 'issue'. When I use it, I only get one burst of air. The regulator gauge shows full pressure, but when I use the air nozzle for example, I get one shot and the gauge on the regulator drops fast​ and comes back up slowly. 

Any thoughts on what I have going on?

What's an air compressor?

Take the regulator off and see what you get direct from the tank. Of course unplug and bleed the tank first.  Water logged? Don

Sounds like a pressure regulator or the line is mostly plugged. Without pics I can't tell the layout of the system. Good Luck, Rick
