If the heat losses are R*I^2, then the motor was producing (33/25)^2 =
1.74 times the heat that it was designed for, and turned more slowly
so it could not move as much air as it was designed to. That's why it
got so hot.

This leads me to believe that Wayne was right (as usual) and this is a
7.5 HP pump and not a 5 HP pump. It definitely needs a 7.5 HP motor,
or a slow 5 HP motor.


drop the pump pully 1" in diameter

frankly..as Bruce said..get an adjustable pully and dial it in.

2 belts is nice..but often not necessary on a compressor. if it
squeeks..belt dressing is cheap.
