I picked up this motor really cheap. Previous owner said he ran it with a failed WATER impeller.
He did not want to play with it so I will. Anyway with the motor getting hot what does the temp switch do?
The motor will start and run but I have not spent any time on it much...
I will later.
Is there some kind of a FAILSAFE for these motors?

I do not believe that has a temp switch or failsafe. I would do a compression test before anything
