I only have a digital meter, and the resistance just goes nuts. And, I can't see well enough into it to see exactly what's going on in there. Maybe I'll take it to a motor repair place tomorrow. And GO RAVENS by the way.

It's hard to tell, but I THINK that black thing is where the power connects to the coils. I wish I could pull the whole thing out.

I don't see this separate wire anywhere (but it's pretty hard to see much of anything in there). But regardless, I don't think it would change my resistance so much. If this starting wire was in series and it was broken, the resistance would be infinite. If the wire was parallel and broken...

I cleaned the plug and leads off with alcohol. When I plug it in, it hums. I don't feel an actual back and forth as much as an overall vibration.

No. It's an induction "Squirrel-Cage" motor. It has no brushes.

The resistance across the plug jumps all over the place, which is why I thought it would be a bad capacitor. The only way I can hand spin the motor to start it, is with the pump off. So, I hand spin it (it then works fine), and then I place the pump housing over the spinning magnet, and it...

My pump doesn't have a metal cover, or one of those boxes attached to the side. Does that mean I don't have a capacitor? Looking inside the motor, I see a silver box-shaped thing.

I have a March 809-PL-HS. It seems to have lost most of it's power. When I plug it in, it just buzzes and heats up. I took off the pump part to take the load off of the motor. When I plug in the motor, and spin it by hand, it takes off like normal. When I hook the plug up to my multimeter...
