    Just a suggestion,

    Remove the watertube from the tower & check it for clogs. Maybe sometime in the past a blade from the impeller may have made it’s way in the tube or insect nest. Use a drill motor on the driveshaft to see if the pump is working using a cordless drill for safety 120 volts may be a schocking event!

    Then connect a hose to the watertube to see if the block passages are clear. I’ve had to take the waterjacket off the cylinders to scrape the junk off of the waterjacket before. Hope this helps
