Thank for the ideas, I installed a new split capacitor, the pump runs then starts to smell like burning motor with a humm then shuts off after a minute & is really hot.. I've burnt out electric drills before & this pump is acting like the motor is gone! I also realized a storm last week lightning hit a tree next to our house (tree actually touches the gutter) So now I have a circuit in my house thats not working...so I'm thinking it could of fried the pump? or the pump motor just gave out?
