The voltage to the motor is never interrupted during the stop/start
cycle. Above a certain psi (about 95), the motor starts bogging down
and eventually stops. This occurs even if I bypass the pressure switch
and attach the cord directly to the motor leads. Then, after the
unloader vents the pressure, the motor will restart.

Is it an oil-less compresser? They are VERY sensitive to
both ends being lined up correctly. The through bolts loosen
under vibration and the ends shift slightly. Re-align them
and that should solve the problem.
