Did you have the powerhead completely torn down at some point? If so, did you measure the clearance on the ID of the centre main?
I think those motors have a limit of about 0.004" on that clearance. If its more, they don’t like to start. Usual result is they’ll start on a stand, but not with the prop wet.
