Thanks for the tips

Upon inspection of my pump it wasn't open circuit but 120ohms

with a lot of side play in the impeller shaft.

Testing it directly with 240vac the impeller showed would spin once

then stall or just hum at any given random sequence

Im guessing because of the large worn torrance between the rotor and the stator

it now appears to be electrically and mechanically unusable

Answer: TIME FOR A REPLACEMENT

Sounds like time for a new one!

Testing with 240v is a sure fire way to see if it works or not, but difficult to show how to do it safely without the risk of someone injuring or killing themselves ;-)
