I solved the problem!
Part of my issue is that whoever installed the pressure tank did so with the make/model/manufacturer label nearly against the wall so I couldn't look up the info. I was able to get the info by squeezing my phone in and taking video. Fortunately the seismic strap was just above the model number so I was able to do some research.
The problem wasn't the switch settings, the air pressure was too low. After pumping in the required amount of air I tinkered with the switch settings (probably undoing the changes I made earlier) and now all is well. It must have been low when I bought the house because now the water runs a long time without the pump kicking on.
