Got the new hobo freight on spaced and set up. The motor turns it just fine when under 100lbs of pressure. At about 110 it pops the breaker. Once reset it can't spin up unless psi is dropped.
The pump head says 5hp. Motor tag is 5hp 15 amps. I have it to a 15A double pole breaker.
The only difference is this pump head is two piston.
Does my motor need attention, do I need a bigger breaker, or a smaller pully on the motor cause of two pistons vs one?
