    Don, maybe this is the problem?
    Dug around under the impeller plate more closely (something basic that I should have done a month ago !!!!!!), and found that previously, some ham fisted mechanic broke the gearcase on both sides when he installed a new seal.
    I would think that this would disrupt some of the flow going into the pump? I was able to gently tap it back into shape,and will fill the broken walls and cracks with some JB Weld, or should I just look for a good replacement serviceable gear case?
    Also when i changed the impeller when I got the motor last year I noticed I never sealed (Don’s good tips) the bottom of the plate with M/847 sealer.
    Hopefully doing the above will help.
    Thanks again,
    Bob D
