Re: compessor spike fuse blows

Yes you do have to be careful with the pump because it can cause the breaker to trip, easiest solution is to use the autoreseting breaker.

As to the question of weither other teams have experiencd it, yes i have experienced it, and i have seen it happen to other teams, its just one of those things you have to deal with, the kit isn't perfect but by and large its a great set of parts and the compressor works great for our purposes.

Hope this fixes your problem, if you still contunue to have problems you should check for shorts or grounding issues. Then again it is always good to check for these, so you might want to go ahead and do this anyways.
