Walter, thankyou so much for the info and from what you have said that is definitely what i think the problem is. Could you PM me the phone number for Wayne or is it the number on the pump? I would be glad to send it in.
No im not running it dry, it does the same thing with the head installed on not.
It is used and came with a setup i bought a few days ago.
I did oil it and it spins freely until power is applied.
So I have read extensively on issues with this pump and i have removed the head cleaned it primed it and still when I plug it in the pump just makes noise gets hot and doesn't turn. When unplugged it appears to spin freely but plug it in an just buzzing. I could really use some help on this if...
