Napa Maxi Trac compressor

[calgecko]

Thanks for the links! I had seen that video. He doesn’t explain if the exposed wires were always exposed or if something happened to cause it like melting through the wrap He mentioned maybe it should be fused. You said you took care of the wire that causes problems. Did you just inspect it for any exposed wire and add electrical tape, or something more involved?

the heavy gauge positive lead that comes off the circuit board, makes a bend underneath the board, and it's wrapped in shrink wrap, but there are some single strands of copper wire that were poking through the original shrink wrap, and some people have reported that it can short out against the metal frame of the compressor.. so I did my best to wrap the holy crap out of that cable with 3m electrical tape to prevent that from happening that was about it

I dug deep and was told that NAPA is no longer selling these- whatever is left at stores is the end of it. If anyone knows this to be BS, please let us know. They are made by Balkamp if anyone can help us find them with other labels.

Clicked add to cart and by the time the page loaded it was no longer available.

you got lucky - but don't be surprised if the order gets canceled. I've placed 5 orders over the past 3 days, and all of them have been canceled

You had me scared, but it showed up 2 days ago. Also, found an oddity in the included spec sheet. Was this language in yours? I was about to do the modifications for the pressure switch (already bought the switch) when I found this language, but I haven't had a chance to run any tests.

awesome! glad you got it - and I didn't look at the instructions - not sure if it has that was on there or not

I opened up my brand new maxi trac today to double check wiring and this is what I found. Notice the poorly soldered stack of wires in the back. Assuming this isn’t normal. I don’t think I’m going to mess with it and will be returning to NAPA.

edit: the Facebook forum is telling me it’s no big deal. maybe I will give it a shot

If you decide not to keep it, shoot me a message and I’ll buy it.

I'm still looking to buy one of these but it's been out of stock for a couple months. Is this product dead?
