Aloha,
Are you using the Craftsman only as a receiver tank and it is not running? Ok, how are you running the output of the slave compressor to the Craftsman? If you are running the output of the slave compressor to the Craftsman receiver tank without any check valve in line, then it will leak from the slave compressor when it stops. Does the unloader valve from the slave compressor leak when the compressor is pumping? If it doesn't, then the unloader valve is working correctly. I don't know exactly at what rpm the unloader valve should close but most compressor pump turn faster than 900rpm. Where on the Craftsman tank is the air leaking from? You could have multiple problems so work it one at a time.
1. When slave compressor is running, air should not be leaking from Craftsman tank (see #4).
2. Air should not be leaking from slave compressor unloader valve when compressor is running. If it is then the compressor is turning extremely slow for the centrifugal weights in the unloader to function. It could be stuck if it leaks all the time.
3. No check valve in output line from slave compressor. Put one in.
4. Craftsman tank should not be leaking unless it is purging from the safety valve (excessive pressure in tank for predetermined setting of safety valve). Reason being that the slave compressor has no way of telling when to cut off.
That should be enough for now and get back if you have any further questions. Are you able to post a picture of your setup?? Mahalo,

Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
