    Mumbles that’s kinda over the top. LOL 😆

    Check the pump to tank check valve, or the motor start capacitor.
    They will both mimic the same symptoms.
    To check the valve, with the comp off and air in the tank, loosen
    the discharge line from the pump and listen for air leaking back from
    tank.
    To check the capacitor, Unplug power source, remove the wires from
    the cap. and check with an analog VOM meter the same way you check
    condensers.

    It sounds like your pressure switch is bad.
    You can probably get one at a hardware store or the big home centers.
    Take your old one with you to compare as there are a lot of them and
    many look alike.
