My Pentair 227t pump is shutting off and on. It was running for a few minutes then shutting off. Sometimes just buzzing and popping the breaker at the house. Cap doesn’t look like it’s bulging. Pool hasn’t been used in years. Any ideas on how to get this running? Also need to know if it’s wired to 110v as the line I ran from the house to the pump is 110v since the contractors cut out all of the existing lines. I can’t find a manual so attached is a picture of the wiring on the back.
Pentair 227t shutting off and on, very hot, impeller spins freely.

When we moved into our home the pumps had been sitting for a couple of years and the bearings had frozen up. Turn them on, they would hum, get hot, trip the breaker. Opened the pump up, spun the impeller by hand to break it free, pump ran ok for a year after that
Remove the back center cap to check to see if the shaft spins freely. It just pops off with a quarter turn counterclockwise. Handle carefully as the tabs can break off.
Do you have a picture of the motor label from the motor and the pump label from the front of the pump with the barcode?

I'm unable to get a clear picture of the labels of the motor as they're sun faded. The previous owner of the house left the pump out in the elements so it's sunfaded and pretty ugly.
It's a Pentair 2 hp High Performance Pump with the numbers 227T on the top of the motor housing.

Not at all. Sunfaded and brittle.The motor probably needs 240 volts.
You can't read the label at all?
What were the wire colors from the original wiring?
Can you post a picture of the pump label and motor label anyway?
