I have a Pentair motor 1 1/2 hp. That comes on and after 2seconds shuts down Sets for a short time (20 to 30 seconds) and does the same thing again. This will continue as long as there is power to the motor. I pulled the pump from the motor and there is no restrictions. The impeller spins fine. Tried running with pump disconnected with motor just sitting there and had same on / off results. Pump is wired to electronic timer that seems to work correctly.

Any thoughts what the issue is?
 
Welcome to the forum!

What the pump model or the motor model? It could a run capacitor issue assuming it has one.
