Harbor Freight Central Pneumatic 21 gal 2.5 HP air compressor quickly shuts off - won't stay running

The unit runs for a few seconds then shuts off and trips the reset switch. I drained the old cloudy/milky compressor oil and replaced with new oil, and replaced the original capacitor with a new one from a local HVAC supplier, but that didn't fix it. The reed valve appears to be in great condition.
If anyone has some suggestions that would be truly appreciated.
*** UPDATE 9/9/2022 - my apologies for not responding until now... am a bit surprised this vid has gotten so many views, but I don't want to waste anyone's precious time.
I NO LONGER have the unit, I actually set it out by the curb - perhaps it was a blessing for someone else - I just didn't have the know-how nor the time to keep tinkering with it. I got the little red pancake model from Freight and it has served me needs thus far. I shan't complain in the least bit for what the good LORD has done for me soul.
It does appear that some visitors have offered some really good suggestions below, certainly worth a try for someone in need!
Thank you for stopping by. And no, you DO NOT have to "click the bell", subscribe, like, etc, etc :), LORD knows I rarely do that meself.

I had the same problem, I replaced the 15 amp thermal switch and it's good as new.

Mine did same. Would shut off before air buildup. I took a wire and put it in the 2 reset button wire connectors and it runs great. My guess is reset button is bad. I ran it several times until air hit 125psi shutoff, the drained air until 90psi low air started. Worked perfect.

So did you connect the reset button directly?

Compressor looks in really good shape. Hardly any rust or anything on that .

Your problem is that small brass valve on the top. Either replace it or take the small o ring on the inside away and you'll have a totally functional air compressor in no time.

Thank you for the info. I gave the unit away but perhaps this can help someone else. Take care.

Well this may help me. I just ordered an over priced $35 capacitor for this thing! Where you can get a capacitor for about anything else for $10-15. To get the exact specs for this one $35ish dollars was as cheap as I could find. Oh by the way mine does the exact same thing.

Try some penetrating oil in the intake. The piston/cylinder could have some surface rust causing it to be partially seized. That could make the overload trip. The overload could also be faulty from being damp for so long. The worst case would be a bearing is seizing and on a Chinese compressor like that is probably not replaceable. Hope this helps

Hi Brian, sorry for the late reply, I updated the vid description... I gave up fixing it and gave the rascal away :). Perhaps the suggestions posted by others could help you. Peace and Blessings unto thee also!

Mine did sane thing. Bypassed the reset button and it runs great. Reset button maybe short in it.

Your centrifugal switch must be stuck open, which would cayuse the compressor to shut down
