Hopefully it gets going. I am by googles estimation 5 hours and 18 minutes away...
What help is he looking for? other than the knowledge everyone here can supply.
Does he require tools... parts...a flatbed haul home?

I'm almost out of work. I have a 5th wheel flatbed i could bring down there tonight. Itd be late obviously. I may call him after work cuz if it gets much later that'd be a hell of a haul late after working at 630 this am

Update ...
He is up and running .. turns out his final filter was the reason it wasn't running right after the pump began to work . He bypassed it for now & all is good . It was more than likely the reason the pump went out in the first place . He asked me to tell every one thanks for the input ...
