It seems as though the compressor is taking too long to fill, running too long at one stretch, and going off on thermal cut out. When the motor cools, the compressor will start, and the cycle repeats.
If not air is blowing back out of the intake port when the compressor is running, odds are good that either the pump head valves or gaskets are compromised, and that means a pump repair kit.

I have a Husky model # F2S20VWD , its a 20gal 150 PSI, Problem is it will continuously run, will not reach 150psi, only gets to about 115, I replaced the check valve # E106123, thinking because air is always coming out the hole. this did not fix the issue.any ideas? pressure valve?
I have that same model and that same issue. I almost ordered a check valve thinking the same as you Rob. I guess I’ll take the shroud off and look at a couple other things associated in the article willyr suggests first.

Well Rob, the tank check valve is certainly one of the things to check. Others can be found here: http://fix-my-compressor.com/compressor-will-not-build-pressure/ .
