Pump gets very hot when it runs

WARNING when replacing a motor on a northstar you must match the hp and service factor.. say its a 1.1/2 hp motor and the service factor 1.47 you will need a 2hp with a 1.15 service factor to replace that original motor .if you replace it with a 1 1/5 motor it WILL BURN UP THE MOTOR !!. welcome to the hayward northstar .
only the 2 speed motors have a start switch the CAPACITOR would be my first check it may be a 30 or a 35uf at 370 cap LOOK IN YOUR AREA FOR YOUR LOCAL POOL PUMP MOTOR REPAIR GUY WITH FREE TESTING USE YOUR ZIP CODE IN YOUR SEARCH

Hayward 1 hp pump clicks then shuts off

If it has an internal centrifugal switch, usually under the cover at the rear of the pump, it might be stuck. Check it got movement. The weights on the switch move out away from the shaft when starting. If that is ok, possible capacitor.

I have a hayward pool pump. I ran the back wash

It sounds like the start switch contacts are not making good contact or there also may be a weak capacitor. These possible solutions do require a basic knowledge of motors to remedy. Start contacts can be cleaned and adjusted until proper replacement can be done.

Hayward above ground pool pump will not start.

sounds like the windings in the motor are shot! but does it have a capacitor? if it does you could simply have a bad starting capacitor so don't let it hum for that will surely scar the windings
