Here are your parts

See the attachment for the tech sheet.

Sounds like the compressor is overheating.

Is the condenser /compressor fan running?
It should be.

Check the compressor windings, see the below link.
Check them for resistance and that they are not grounded.
There is not a good way to check the start device so if the compressor checks out OK then you have to just buy one and try it.

Note that the compressor checks using a meter can tell you if a compressor is bad.
It does not tell you that a compressor is good as it may have internal mechanical problems.
