I have a Sanborn model 64A100-14 14 gal. Rated to 100 psi max, but only gets to 80psi and pump cuts off. Any ideas on how to fix this?

You probably have a defective Pressure Switch, being this is the main component that controls the cut-in and cut-out pressure of the unit.
You can try adjusting the switch, first; most pressure switches are adjustable. If you click on the below link you'll see a video and a document that has instructions on how to do this for most brands of pressure switches:

If this doesn't work then I'd recommend replacing the switch. Most likely the diaphragm is damaged/corroded so it's not sensing the correct PSI.
Hope this helps!
