Aha OK. So it sounds as if there is not a circuit from live to earth after all.
I would go for the test with mains on the motor and see what happens.
Do I understand that the pump body is still the original ?
If this is stiff then it could be putting undue load on the motor.
Apologies if this has been mentioned.
