LOL.... that's what I thought when you said all this time you had it running with nothing else connected to it, just the main output...!
If you don't have that thin copper line, you should at least be able to locate the unloader port on your governor; probably plugged somehow?

... air to filter - NO!
I say it once again: that orifice (in the center of the blue area) goes connected to the air governor, via a 1/4" copper tube.
You can try running it without it but then the compressor will not stop pumping air, until the relief valve blows open!

Lol... well, I am sure!:)
Without the governor it would never "unload" (= never stop pumping) and you had the relief valve opening every few seconds, once it reached around 135psi.

What about the fitting the air line coming from the governor connects to?
Possibly your new compressor came without it; only intended to replace another, already existing 1-cylinder compressor?
