Hi all purchased a second hand Cobra air compressor with around 14 cfm for blasting. Bought a seperate blast pot secondhand. The compressor was working but tried it the other day and Nothing!! From when it worked to when it didnt nothing has happened. I took bits off it and was going to check the capacitors. unfortunately i didnt take a pic of the wiring and i am struggling to put wires in correct places. Theres no customer service with this one. Think its chinese. Theres no parts available to relace with. The capacitors have bolt ends and attach to the body but even these seem difficult to find. There may be some without the bolt but then have to fashion something to attach them to the body... seems a headache and with black friday upon us - might buy a new SGS one! Ill attach some photos for the wiring and capacitors if anyone feels like helping out. If anyone knows where the wires go feel free to join in. Thanks

similar prob with capasitors I needed to change.....
fashioned a bracket out some rubbish laying around and used wiring Zip ties to hold the capasitors in.....
still good after at least 5 years

Take a photo of the wiring now.
Look inside the lid of the connection box. There's often a wiring diagram.

It's likely these are rebadged ones. I'd look for a bigger name brand - SIP, Clarke etc - for an identical compressor and try to find the data sheets on those.
