Help me with my Chugger Pump, PLEASE!

I have two chugger in line pumps. At first they both worked fine. Now all of a sudden one of them doesnt work. I searched the forums, and found that it could have been the impeller and the tolerancing. So I followed the same instructions and bored out the impeller to 17/64". I did this to both of my pumps and the one still works fine.

Now I took the one that doesnt work off my stand and took it apart. When the pump head is not attached the motor runs and works perfectly normal. However, when I put the pump head back on, and try to pump liquid, the motor doesnt even turn.

Can anyone help me with this issue, or am I going to have to buy another pump?

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks in advance!

First contact Chugger, from what I have seen their costumer service is usually pretty good.
Since these are mag drive pumps for the motor to be stuck I would expect that something is stopping the drive magnet from turning when the pump head is on. Have you dropped it / something on it at all lately? and since you have 2 can you swap the heads over and see if the problem stays with the pump head or the motor.

thanks i will re adjust it if that doesnt work i will call thanks again

It is likely as chugger mentioned...if the housting right behind the pump head is misaligned, it bings with the motor and wont turn. It nees even spacing all around to work properly.

Chugger's service is beyond words. Great guys, great products.
