Your compressor is worn out. It is repairable but you will quickly find out that the price of the rebuild kit and S+H is about the price of a new compressor at your local store.
Oil-less compressors cannot stand up to use and abuse they get like a oil compressor can but they are certainly affordable.
Hi I know these need to be very high powered so try plugging it in direct to the mains not an extension lead or use the mains from the house not a garage or outhouse hope this works!
This can be a symptom of a waterlogged receiver tank. Obviously drain the tank if it is. Another possible problem is a stuck start switch. If it is overheating you will find the motor very hot to the touch. If this is not the problem you will have to put a ammeter on the motor to see if it is drawing the stated run current. If motor current is normal then it may be a bad thermal sensor in the motor. This compressor is a very low cost unit, and it may not pay to take it to a repair shop.
one of a few things possible, first is that the start capacitor is faulty, second could be the start switch inside the motor, and the third that the pump is not unloaded ( if only happens when the tank has air in it) or the pump and or motor is locked up.
Remove the air from the compressor using the drain valve.
Remove the discharge hose. The one that goes from the pump to the tank.
Remove the air filter (and check condition)
switch the compressor on an with your hand, partially cover the air intake where the air filter bolts on(be carfull not to fully cover it).
You should feel the pump drawing air in.
If it dosn't draw you have a broken/leaking valve or a blown cross-over gasket if it is of the type with a split valve plate.
You'd need to remove the head/valves/plate to confirm this.
If it did draw in air,
Stop the compressor & re-fit the discharge hose.
Now run for a few seconds and check the draw again.
If its suction reduces you also have a valve/plate/cross-over gasket problem.
If it draws fine.
stop the compressor and loosen the discharge hose at the tank end.
You may hear a short air leak at first, but you should not hear air contniously leaking.
If it continiously leaks air then the check valve in the tank is shot.
NOTE: NEVER remove this valve if the compressor has air in the tank/receiver.
This should locate your problem for you.

-If both compressor and fan motor starts and stop, thermostat is the defect. - If only the compressor check for your outlet no sign of discoloration, check the voltage if normal, check the defective overload protector of the compressor it its external, or compressor itself is defective
