So I have an older MotorTrike Spyder conversion on my 2003. The bike was bought used about 3 years ago.
Seller claimed the air ride pump was replaced (so it's probably not the same brand/model originally installed). I also had new air lines installed to fix a slow leak when it was in the shop after an accident.
The air pump worked fine last season and was not blowing fuses.
Today I fired up my trike and tried to increase the air ride pressure (lost a few pounds over the winter) and nothing happened when I flipped the on switch. I checked the fuse and it was blown (10A). So I replaced it with another 10a and it blew instantly. I also tried 15 20 and 30a. Each would turn the pump on for few seconds before the fuse blew.
So I know next to nothing about air ride suspension systems. Did the pump probably seize/rust up over the winter? Stored in a non-heated garage in TN.
Any tips on testing the pump without frying the bike's circuits?
Any tips on finding a replacement? Remove it and try to find the model number (assuming I can get to it without removing the trike shell) would be the obvious suggestion.
