Many times after the long winter and a motor not running for 5 months they tend to stick when first repowering. Once they have been going for a while it should be fine. Of course if it is just a little small $20-30 pump it may be piece of mind to change it if it is going to worry you. Buy a spare and stick it in the garage so if it does fail you don't have to go shopping for it. Is it your only pump?
