mine have caused the flame to fluctuate. when your flame isnt stable or you feel like you cant get the flames u were getting, then its prob a seal in the compressor
it took me a long time to figure out how to get it all back together. the compressor companies dont want people to do it themselves, but its 100$ shipping each way for 2$ orings that need to be replced every .5-1 year.
i am doing research on where to get rebuild kits. some are expensive 86$ and some are 10$...the more expensive ones seem to come with instructions. now that i know how to get it back together, torque the screws, all i need are the seals and orings. if you dont, i would suggest getting the full kit with instructions
here is the expensive kit.
http://www.mastertoolrepair.com/thom...its-p-190.html you might want to call them and make sure they are for the same model the compressor is a Thomas 100, each huricane has 2 compressors. ( i have not ordered this kit so i cant vouch for it)

here are the less expensive parts, but i dont see our model (100) on this website, ill call them tomorrow.
edit: use the cup seals for 2650 model of this site but not the orings
