Try again to start it, but this time drain the tank to zero pressure before you do. If it starts, then you possibly need to look to the UNLOADER VALVE.

Make sure too you have clean power, no extension cord, and nothing pulling power from the same circuit as the compressor is on.

If unloader good and power is clean, then I'd look next to the start capacitor on the motor that may be failing or failed.

Cheers,

Bill
