I have come in possession of a Craftsman model 919.165200,
5 hp, 20 gallon air compressor that when turned on runs for a few

or how to repair? Anyone come across this problem before?

Missed this the first time round. I had that happen to me when I had
too long an extension cord (to paint my fence). The voltage drop will
pop the compressor's breaker.
