Thanks for the suggestions.

I will try the blower nozzle, although probably not until tomorrow. I have some things I need to do tonight & I have not assembled the blower nozzle on the fitting yet.

I am not sure the blower nozzle will answer the question though. I think I am getting some air through the chuck, but not enough. I am afraid the blower nozzle will shoot air but I will not be able to determine how much air.

I do not have the chrome valve stems, so that is not the problem. As I said, it seems to be working -- I hear a "pop" when I take the chuck off the valve stem. But I do not hear much air at all going into the tire.

I am guessing it is the regulator. It doesn't seem to be letting enough air pressure out of the tank.

I will probably end up taking it back. I might exchange it for another because I really do like the unit. It seems to be well made (other than the regulator, perhaps!) & it is very compact. If I can get one the works, it will be perfect for my needs. If a second one does not work, I will try something else.

Thanks again everyone. As always, I appreciate the advice.
