Circulating pump not working properly

Hi, question for the experts... I have a groundfos circulator pump which isn't working properly. I took off the motor to trouble shoot and found that when the thermostat activates the pump, it doesn't start pumping, however, if I give it a little spin, it starts up and the motor takes over. Do I need a new pump, or is there another "fix" for this issue?

Thanks all!

Welcome to the forums.

You could stay there and give it a little spin every time it starts or replace it with a new pump.
