Wife and I chatted, probably best bet is to go ahead and get a Variable Speed Pump. How is This? Still 1k+ for us is too much right now, but this seems good for price. Is 1.4hp enough? I am having a difficult time understanding GPM and how it translates to HP
Pump getting hot, burning smell, shutting off

See if you can fix the problem by bypassing the voltage selector switch and just wiring direct.
If it's not obvious how to do it, show some pictures of the front and back of the terminal board with the wires connected and I might be able to describe how to fix it.
Document in detail with pictures where the wires go before removing anything.
If we can get the motor to work, I would downsize the impeller to a SPX2607C or even a SPX2605C model.

If you can't get the motor to work, you can get a new 3/4 hp motor and a SPX2605C impeller and that should save you some money.

This will drop your flow and power bill by a lot.
Your flow was probably way too much anyway.
You will also need a new seal.

Maintain the chlorine with liquid chlorine and the pool will not go green.
Brush to mix in the chlorine.
Thank you so much for the help. I was looking and saw this one? Looks like it will fit with my current setup since the housing / basket area is already good to go and I dont mind spending a little more for something like this. Assuming its 240v (checking in the AM have to run and get a voltage meter)

That can work if you have 230 volts available.
The correct impeller would be the SPX2610C.
The screw at the red arrow can sometimes allow water to leak into the wiring compartment.
Just seal that and it should be OK.

Here are some that are 115 or 230.
The NPTT165 would work with a SPX2610C impeller.

Note that the V-Green 1.65 HP Round Flange 56J Variable Speed Motor - ECM16CU is 230 volts only.
This one would work? I currently have 2” plumbing and my current motor is 2hp. 1 is enough?

Unless you need a lot of flow, it should be fine.

Ok so I think I am going to order this .85hp motor and the SPX2605 impeller. Will that attach to my current housing?
I know some need a type of conversion kit going from a single speed to a variable speed
That should work.
Get a PS-3868 seal and some seal lube to install the seal correctly.

No special kit needed.
You need the motor, impeller, seal, diffuser O-ring, and housing gasket.

There are a bunch of videos showing the process of replacing a seal or motor for the superpump.
Review a video or two to get the basics.
Don't use regular lube to install the seals; use seal lube.
