Well, I got a rebuilt pump yesterday from Cardone, because I was impressed by the larger pump vanes from my old one.

Tried the fit before bending the divider plate, and was surprised to see that the Cardone pump had vanes that were 3/16 " taller than the old one. The divider plate would only require minor tweaking. Will attach two photos showing the difference. Old pump first, new one next post, cause I can't figure how to attach two pics in one post.
George, I love the way you think simple. Is it plugged in? Is the ground loose? Think before you spend all day going around in circles and starting over at the beginning.
I know I said I wouldn't make any changes except the tweaking of the plate, but I just could not resist the pump with the larger vanes. Will have it running on Saturday and give you a full report then. Same everything else for now, because we can change the others easily if needed.
