Re: new 1.1 compressor blowing 20A fuses

Question for you: Did you install the replacement filter that Andymark sent out? The smaller diameter black one that is deeper?

If so, did you cut about 3 threads off of the part that screws into the compressor?

If not, the length of that threaded stem is so long that it will bind into the compressor crankshaft. This could be binding the motor so much that you're blowing fuses.

Thankfully I noticed this before installing the filter, and after some cutting and checking and cutting and checking, removing 3-4 threads safely clears the crankshaft, while still allowing a nice secure fit to the compressor.
