Many thanks. I figured I didn't have anything to lose, so I wired the motor wires to a plug and tried it. First time - no good just sat there and hummed. I took the end cap off the motor by removing the 4 long threaded bolts and blew it out (with my other little compressor). Put it all back together and tried it one more time and it worked - just sat there and ran like a champ. Reassembled everything back together and it runs up to pressure 125 lbs and shuts off.
I'll get the numbers off the motor and get ahold of the electric motor guy in town so he can make sure it's up to snuff.
I appreciate the feedback - I would have replaced the pressure switch first and then found out that is wasn't the problem. This is why I hang around on here. This website and those on it - are better than hanging around the ice cream cooler at the local gas station like I used to do.
