if it doesn't seem like a lot of water is coming out, pull the cover and pull the hose off the fitting where the water shoots out of the motor and let it pump directly out of the hose for a minute and make sure you don't have any debris clogging the hole in the fitting. Make sure you are ready to catch the fitting when you pull the hose cause it will fall right out of the motor when hose isnt connected. I've run into that a couple of times also. Just my 2 cents.
