The motor for p/t/t started sticking causing the solenoids to kick-out. I took the motor off and found that the bearing in the top had seized and the seat had shattered. I had a local repair man to repair the motor, and it seems to run fine. But now that I have the motor back on, I can not get it to move the jack. It just sets and runs. I am assuming that I did not miss something falling out when I removed the motor. All that I found in the pump was a small round screen and a cork gasket that sets up against the bottom of the motor. I did not see any other removable parts. Am I missing something? Does the ear on the bottom of the motor suppose to have a propeller or something? I do not have a full understanding how this is supposed to work. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Is the manual tilt screw turned in tight. Dont over do it, they break.<br /><br />If its in tight, then I would suspect you have air in the system.<br /><br />Good luck!

Is the manual tilt screw the one below the motor on the bottom left? There is a plug on the top right side canister and one below the motor.
