I suspect that you got it assembled somewhat wrong. Unless you 
took the motor part apart, the motor MUST be running backwards 
now.

Assuming you have the late pump with 3 nipples coming parallel 
out the front of the pump, the parts, when viewed from the pump 
end, should go together like this:

Electrical connector at 3 O'clock
notch in intermediate plate at 4 O'clock
pressure relief (silver) cap at 3 O'clock
