System can't build pressure!!!

Our pneumatic system is unable to build pressure beyond 60 psi. Whenever we get to 60, our step-down regulator leaks all of the air so that we are unable to store more than 60 psi. When we change the output of the step-down regulator, the pressure of the system changes as well. Basically, the entire system is at the same pressure throughout, and we are unable to store any pressure upstream. This problem was not there on the bagged robot, but it is an issue on the new system we are building. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
