Turned out to be an expensive lesson for me. I replaced the motor. Cost me $180.00. The upside was that I was able to get water back on to my customer. The grass can keep growing and I keep getting paid! Hopefully I can use the parts from blown motor to rebuild a pool motor that needs...
thanks for all the help already guys!!
I will try to get a picture. It is a 1hp a.o. Smith motor on a sta-right irrigation pump. It will work on either 220 or 110, comes from factory set to 220.... I hooked up to 110 supply and ran it for 30 min. it ran but I did not get any water up...
I accidently hooked up a new motor to 110v supply and the motor was set to 220v.
I ran the motor for about 30 min or so then gave up. The next time I tried the motor cycled in and out a little. I then discovered my mistake and switched the motor to 110. Now it just makes an awful humming...
