Sounds like it's probably the unloader valve mentioned in earlier posts. They do go bad from time to time. Be careful if you do decide to "upgrade" the electrical feed. Look at the nameplate on the motor and see what current it draws first. There should be a space marked "FLA" that's full load amps, that is what the motor should draw when working at it's full rated HP. Generally you are safe to size your feed for about 20% above that FLA number. example..a motor with a FLA marking of 20amps would work out to 24amps when you add the 20% so you would go with a 25 amp breaker and 10gauge wire. you are allowed to go to the next standard breaker size above what is required since there aren't any 24 amp breakers. Hope this helps.
