It sounds like the unloader valve/cut in cut out switch is misadjusted or has failed.
This is the switch box where the power cord goes in and also a small air line. Usually they can be set to shut off at maximum desired tank pressure and when to cut in again as the pressure drops. The small air line bleeds air out of the tank side of the pump so the motor won’t have to start the compressor against the tank pressure when it cuts in.
You should probably be getting at least 100 PSI in your tanks.
