Air compressor Issues

Hey peeps
I have a kings thumper max mk2 air compressor that's keeps shutting off frequently under use lately. It never use to happen before. Does anyone have this issue if using the said compressor.
Only mod I did to the compressor was removing the alligator clips and replace with 50amp anderson plug. Was thinking about replacing the anderson plug to a 120amp but just wanted to see if anyone else has a different solution before I do anything further.
thank you in advance

Louis

That compressor draws up to 90 amps on their spec sheet. I foresee smoke in your near future using a 50A anderson. Could be a thermal overload, could be a dodgy unit. Need to have an ammeter on it and see what its doing both sides of the anderson, and also what the power supply is doing.

Thanks Piggy
New 120amp Anderson plugs have been bought, just need to be changed over. Best case scenario compressor runs properly again. If not in the bin it goes

Totally agree with piggy!
I used to have one and they draw some serious amps…
One of the best mods I’ve done was an arb compressor in the second battery bay. I was hesitant given the cost but it’s so handy to have on board all the time for bikes and balls etc. Its a lot faster to setup/ pack up too.
