I may be wrong on this point, but I think that if the motor shaft support
bearings are bad enough that they do not keep the motor rotor centered in
the stator, this can cause higher than normal currents also.

Bruce, I called Champion and according to them, this pump is very old,
but they had data on it and said that it is a 5 HP pump with 500-600
RPM speed range.

So, I will do some pulley math tonight, but at this point I think that
the pulley is appropriate and the motor is appropriate and I just need
to find out why the motor does not spin it as hard as it should and
why it gets so hot and bogged down.

I am going to order a 6206 bearing to replace the DE bearing, which is
total **** at this point.
