maybe "Amazon"!!  Would I need just the upper assembly, or the whole head (upper assembly, valve assembly, drive assembly).  If the whole head, cheapest I can find is $80, which is more than the entire pump.  Just trying to clarify.  jpp

Jon, I just checked on eBay for a RV water pump, there is one that is 45 psi and 2.8 gpm for just over $ 38.00 with free shipping.

sorry, but have one more question before i yank this pump out.  even though it may not be priming with water, should i at least get air blowing out the water lines?  or is it one in the same?  new pump has arrived!  jpp

Never tried to see if it blows air when dry.  I would simply yank the old one out and replace.  If you want to check the new one, simply hook 12v to it and stick the incoming water line part of the pump in a bucket of water, careful you might get wet unless you point the outgoing line away from you.

I realize I'm late to the party, but....I had the same problem with my pump yesterday when I tried to get it to suck antifreeze into the system. It just wasn't happening. The day before it had been working perfectly. On a hunch I disconnected both hoses from the pump, turned the pump on and could feel it sucking air when I put my hand over the opening. Hooked it back up and it worked great. Maybe there was an airlock.

I had a rattling sound in my pump a while ago. I disassembled it and found a washer inside one of the chambers. I think it had not been assembled correctly and the washer was pinched in the housing. After a few years, it had finally vibrated loose. After I disassembled it and reassembled it correctly, it has operated properly since.

As for the problem at hand, I think there is a check-valve in the pump. It may be stuck. I don't have a pump schematic to say for sure though.

Edit:  I found this web site which may offer some help:
