Have you tried contacting any Myers dealers in Canada to see if they
have parts for it?
As an aside, my wife's grandfather worked for many years for Myers in
Ashland, Ohio. I had a tour of their factory back in about 1974.
And, as a further aside, I am having the same problem or a similar one
anyway, with a Red Jacket pump made in the USA. It is getting old and
they tell me there are no parts available. It blew off the little hose
to the pressure regulator and then would not shut off and overheated
itself. The motor is fine but the impeller etc is damaged. We had a
similar problem happen once before and got parts and fixed it that time.
That time, the foot valve dropped to the bottom of the lake and picked
up enough mud to cause trouble. The pump ran until it overheated and
damaged the impeller etc. I had assumed we would be able to get parts
and repair it again as they are good solid pumps, but apparently they
have moved on to a newer model.

Here is the official word from Myers:
"Hi,
The HP-336 was made for Canada Exclusive sales. There are no parts
available."
Now what I don't know is IF the pump was purchased in Canada, then
brought in through the U.P. or if there was a MFGR closeout, and
someone bought it that way. I do know that light bulbs private
labelled for U.P. Hardware made it here somehow. One lasted 40+
years. That is pretty good service!
The impeller seems to be ok. It runs but pumps not much more than a
dribble, so I suspect the jet is worn out, or rusted shut. It still
seems fixable, and after a few other projects are done, I will try to
fix it. But that may be next year.

Here is what I found, after I paid over $100 for just the diffuser at
the
local ACE hardware store.

Don't get Myers original parts, look for aftermarket like these. I
think
there is another name other than Ace that are clone pumps and the
parts fit
just fine.
