Water level will be interesting. If water is typically at 120 and stays at 180 or above, you have the right pump if you want a lot of flow. If your water was farther down, a 13GS15 would still have 1.5 HP, but it would have had more pump stages and would have handled more depth. With your pump at 205, we know that the pump should have been able to bring water up from that depth.
It seems to me that you might be able to pressurize the pipe to maybe 30 PSI with water or air from the top. If it holds, the pipe is not breached as the fellow on the phone suspected.
I had used the Franklin AIM manual to get that 9.6 amp number, but I made the mistake of using the 2-wire pump number rather than the 3-wire.
While we are talking about the Franklin AIM manual, I wonder what the difference is between the "Full Load" and "Maximum Load" numbers (page 13).
Footnote 2 says
Y = Yellow lead - line amps
B = Black lead - main winding amps
R = Red lead - start or auxiliary winding amps
So I see I had been mistaken on my color code too.
Edit: So your water is 153 ft down at the moment. It looks like the 13GS15 might have been a little better match to your well. Looking at your chart on reply 32, you will see that you are working more on the right side of the 50 and 60 PSI rows. Pumps are a little more efficient when you work near the middle of the row of numbers. However you are still well within the numbers, so your pump should work quite well.
