Noo, I have not.  Got any suggestions?  finding a dealer/distributor is the problem, or I have not used the right search terms.  Once I take it apart, maybe I can find the reason and figger out why it won't pump.   Its about gotta be something with the jet.  Last time I had it apart the

Have you tried contacting any Myers dealers in Canada to see if they have parts for it? As an aside, my wife's grandfather worked for many years for Myers in Ashland, Ohio. I had a tour of their factory back in about 1974. And, as a further aside, I am having the same problem or a similar

That sounds rather discouraging, but maybe if you take it to a local hardware store that sells Myers pumps, there will be a seasoned citizen that knows what parts from other pumps will fit. I found that expertise after I spent hours figuring out how to assemble the electric motor. Will try to

Here is the official word from Myers: "Hi, The HP-336 was made for Canada Exclusive sales. There are no parts available." Now what I don't know is IF the pump was purchased in Canada, then brought in through the U.P. or if there was a MFGR closeout, and someone bought it that way. I do

Here is what I found, after I paid over $100 for just the diffuser at the local ACE hardware store. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B005FQLAFI/?coliid=I2FZZBK55G9EK3=JD6VKFQUMU21=1_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Don't get Myers original parts, look for aftermarket like these. I think there is another name other

I would guess impeller, seal and nozzle.   Myers Kits I have found so far are $170 to $200.  I can buy a new cast iron pump for $100  online or $200 locally.    So I juess I will have to junk the myers pump.   If I had a stash of burned up motors where I could salvage a new front plate, the

I know Myers pumps are revered in MI by the fruit growers, but has anyone rebuilt a Myers jet shallow well pump?   Mine runs fine and does not leak, but no longer pumps.  (1/3 HP) I am thinking the jet may be worn out.  (Sandy acid, high iron water.) I am going to look for a kit, but since
