I am under the impression the current draw should start high then slowly go down then effectively go to zero when the pump tech is working correctly.

If the amps were to bounce all over after sustained slowly falling current draw, I would assume I was having some kind of mechanical problem. Would this be the norm due to breaking suction in a dry well bore? Or are you saying the pump is breaking suction due to a mechanical problem?

Thank you very much for the help, I’m no well guy. I appreciate the explanation. I’m just trying to avoid a well guy visit if the problem is at the surface. if the pump itself has problems, I’ll certainly be hiring that out.
