I just installed an older Myers 'Ejecto' pump driven by a 1/2hp GE motor. When turned on while still cool it only runs for about 2 to 3 minutes before it gets very hot and the 'thermally protected' motor shuts off ( the pump pressure switch is still in the on position ). It stays off for about 5 minutes and then it automatically comes back on but as it is still quite warm, it only runs for 30 seconds or so before turning off again. I'm guessing that it has something to do with worn brushes in the motor or something similar. Can I fix this ?
Thanks.
