Sorry, wrong sub-forum!
Disassembled the pump, plugged the motor in to see if the impeller would spin (it does.) Started to smoke after a few seconds of spinning, coming out of the back of the motor. It's not totally dead, so I guess that's good?

Smoking wires is NEVER good. It almost sounds like you are running a 220v pump on 110v, or vice versa. Smoking means either your brushes or wiring insulation is burning.
A 1HP IG pump should be fine, but not a 1HP AG pump.
