correctly witht the tank empty so there is plenty of air in it.

Sorry, you're right. I read too fast and missed the "when empty"
part.

Something "ain't right!"

Just WTF "kicks" the pump off? If it's the pressure switch then the tank
is waterlogges or the pressure switch is messed up.

Or is the pump "kicking off" because of it's built in thermal overload? If
that's the case then it's call the well company and pull out the pump. Did
pumps have "in the pump" thermal overloads back then? (Last summer we had
to replace a 30 year old pump. I don't know whether it had a thermal
overload. The new pump (2 wire, BTW) definitely does.
