I purchased this pump with my v-belt kit, installed everything and it worked fine. Changed to the March Style trac system, used my old pump, same as new one, changed pulley from v-belt to serpintine pulley, reinstalled hoses and now NOTHING!!:crying: any ideas??

What do you mean by 'nothing'?

Is it still spinning the correct direction with the serpentine kit?

This happened to me with a DSE pump and i had to replace the pump. DSE sent me a new one on them, so it was no sweat financially but it was a PITA to diagnose. Still not sure what made the pump crap out, but they sent me a replacement and i swapped it in and problem solved.

I did a few tests to confirm that i didn't have some debris somewhere in the system stopping flow but otherwise am not sure if there are any worthwhile diagnostics.

Good luck!
