Technical support is horrible at in the swim where i purchased the pump. Pump started and then died within a few seconds so I pulled the cover off to see what happened. Appears maybe the capacitor failed. Did I wire it up wrong? Pics attached or old pump wiring and new. The last two pics are the old pump.
Did I destroy brand new pump?

The centrifugal switch weights came apart. The springs look rusty for some reason. I would send it back for a warranty replacement.
That’s gonna be such a pain. It took me over a month to receive delivery of the pump. And the box had a lot of damage and styrofoam busted when I got it. Would all that make it burn up at the capacitor wire lead.

Looks like the metal weight flung loose and made contact with the electrical components.
Is the capacitor more than likely blown. I assume most of the parts can’t be bought locally. Wiring looks right? From what I read the wiring one only run one speed if it was hooked up backwards.

No telling what was damaged. You at least need a centrifugal switch. Other than that, it’s hard to tell.
Note that you have two capacitors.
The one in the back is a “Start” capacitor.
The one on top in the hump is a “Run” capacitor.
