Brand new Husky 60 gal 3.2 hp runs to 30 psi and then starts bogging down and running and bogging down ect. No more pressure over 30psi and i can hear on and off clicking of the motor. Did I wire it wrong or is it something easy to fix

SOUNDS LIKE IT WIRED FOR 220VOLTS AND YOU HAVE IT PLUGGED INTO 110VOLTS. IF THE MOTOR SAYS 110/220 THEN FOLLOW THE DIAGRAM FOR LOW OR HIGH VOLTAGE. MAKE SURE CORD IS ADEQUATE SIZE. HOPE THIS HELPS.

Without knowing all your variables with well it is hard to say. Bladder tank needs to have 30 psi with no water pressure. It is possible that the screen down the well is restricted and you are only getting that much water. Or you may have clogged impeller in pump.
It sounds to me like the motor is shot, Bogging down at 20psi makes me suspect the brushes are gone. No good contact on the brushes or even just a bad connection of the power cord will cause it to heat up and lose power under load. Check for worn or lose power connection first, then see if the motor brushes are replaceable. The brushes would be under a screw type cap on the motor with a spring holding the actual brush in contact. You will have more than one so give it good look over.
Bad check valve. But I would check the regulator, by turning it down to about 10 PSI and running it and see if it builds again, if that works then it is the check valve. But from what you are saying I would replace the check valve anyways.
If the pressure switch has been changed you will need to reset it if not ,then is the compressor trying to come back on but will not start untill it reaches 0 psi?
BTW, if you find this manual helpful consider installing dropbox using this link (full disclosure -- I do get about 0.2 GB freespace from dropbox if you install using this link): http://db.tt/vQycqXIW
Possibly the pressure switch needs to be adjusted to reach a higher pressure. Trace the power cord into a box that also is piped into the pressure line from the compressor. If the pressure works itself back down again, use thread-locker fluid on the adjustment screw to hold it's setting.
Hello,check to see if it cuts off at the same psi each time.If so,youneed to adjust the pressure switch to the tank to the max & adjust the pressure to the tool you want to run with the pressure out kob.Hope this helps
My air compressor builds up to 40 psi and just keeps running, i have a craftsman 5 GAL, 1HP, 125 PSI and pressure goes up to 40 psi and dose not go any higher and on the other hand engine keeps running and dose not stop. Please advise?
Thanks.
