Hayward super pump problem

[mas985]

If you turn the motor on and spin shaft manually and the motor spins up, the capacitor is bad. But fix the spring first and see if it starts on its own.

The spring may be from the centrifugal switch that sites on the end of the shaft. It holds the switch closed when the motor is off. You can see the spring in this photo:

Thnaks for the help, it was the spring! My 1 hp super pump only has one spring and it sits on top of the switch, once I attached the spring properly it fired right up.
I also replaced the ceramic seal and spring seal to fix the leak in the pump and that was the remedy for that problem, all is good now

Thanks

Good job!
