I have a Powermate CL0300809 8 gallon compressor. While using it one day it started running for just a second then stopping. It does this over and over. Runs, waits a bit, runs, repeat.

I've done the Internet research path, YouTube videos, emailed the company (no response), and now I'm hoping someone here knows what I can do to repair it.

My only option at this point is throw it away and buy a new one. Not what I want to do.

I'll assume you haven't changed the psi settings...
when did you last drain the tank?

No psi change.

Last time I used it before it started doing this so likely longer than it should be. I will check that.

Thank you. I've been so busy with projects I haven't had a chance to look into it. But I will!!

I am also using the same air compressor for quite some time. I was facing the same issues while using it.
You have to check that the power of the motor is set rightly, also check the psi setting and check that the air flow is set properly . you can also check that the oiling is properly done or not.
The thing is that I didn't change anything from using it the day before. So if it worked yesterday why not today?
