    Check your blow by valve, some times they mess up and start building head pressure and that will cause you to start tripping you circiut breaker. You might have to replace that blow by valve.
    Oh ya and they will start sounding differant when that happens. You guys correct me if you know something else I could be missing.

    John,
    Please clarify, are you saying that when you start the compressor with no pressure in the tank it only runs ~ 20 seconds before tripping out the breaker, or is the tank already at shutoff pressure when you turn it on?
