just replaced impelled --- rotation is clockwise (checked twice) --- motor no longer pumps water.
What am I missing?

Hi minuteman --- yes I did get them connected --- your reminder is directing me to pull the gearbox again to make sure --- I can't see it being anything else!

minuteman you were right! Thank you.
This time I took special care to make sure pump outlet and water tube were connected (a little tricky)
However not sure it is yet RIGHT.
when the motor is idling the spout of water from rear of motor it hot --- almost too hot to keep my hand in it --- it is also coming out in jerky spurts instead of the smooth flow I seem to remember.
what do you think?
