Make sure it is clean. Take it apart and soak everything in distilled white vinegar for a couple of hours. Calcium builds up down in the bottom of the impeller area and creates a drag so it does not want to restart. This is common with most pumps in saltwater applications, some much worse than others namely Quiet Ones
