Water well not getting enough amps?

Old school water well, newish pressure switch and breaker. No reset type of pressure switch. It was pumping fine, then nothing. I have 120v at both power wires on the pressure switch. However, if I disconnect the two power wires and jump the switch from my generator using some 220 wire, the pump works. Am I somehow not getting enough amps from my pole? Any advice?
